Very unique show this week as Joe had to record the podcast from his truck in the parking lot of a hospital (during his dad's shoulder replacement surgery!) But, there is still a ton of value (and entertainment) packed into this episode :) Joe kicks off the show with a funny "pre-surgery George D. story" and a "MuscleUpNovember" supplement sale reminder  before getting into the training talk. Specifically, this week's show is a follow-up from last week's episode on "high volume vs high intensity". Joe answers 2 follow-up questions from his audience then explains exactly how to "get the best of both worlds" (high volume AND high intensity) in a single workout/program. He shares 2 specific training templates that combine high volume WITH high intensity in order to create the "perfect workout"! *For a full list of Show Notes with Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.
