The 'Least Mode' to 'Beast Mode' Model

But you were asked with the lease mode to beast mode stuff, because this has evolved over time, and it's gotten mis... I don't know if it's miscommunicated or misinterpreted, but it's like people look at lease mode meaning you train like a pussy. That's not what that means. Zach has another suggestion at the end. We could just look at it now. Cuck mode to fuck mode. What is it? Cuck mode to fuck mode. Oh, I like that. Someone who likes watching their missus get pounded while they're in the same room. I would say put that on shirts, but my wife would be so mad. She'd be like, that's not good for muscle nerds. But you can make it on your own shirts. Cause I mean, like just behind the back, just like selling merch at the back of the car boot sale. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like you go to a seminar and then she's out the front and then you're at the back dealing shirts. Cause she sees it on Instagram. Like where'd these come from? I don't know. One of our students must've made that. Blame Zach for it. Yeah. if you don't take it we're gonna steal it but where the fuck were we explaining the continuum but it's like just to give you a background of where the whole terminology came from is a friend of mine Zach Trowbridge from the States we were sending each other these videos where these guys are like oh beast mode and they were training like absolute pussies I'm like so I'm like this isn't beast mode? He goes, yeah, it sounds more like least mode. And I went, I'm going to write that down. So I wrote it down. And later I started thinking about where that could fit in with something. And I went, alright, if everybody thinks they training like beasts and we see people with higher blood pressure a high resting heart rate fucked up sleep fucked up joints Maybe what they do need to do is some more least mode which now we need to define what that is And part of that is just maybe altering the amount of intensity or the amount of total volume you getting So maybe doing least effective dose of everything. Like what's the, even like Mike Isertel talking about minimal effective volume or maximum recovery volume. If we go, okay, what is maximal beast volume and what's the minimal least volume that I need to actually keep progressing? But then I can also put my eggs in different baskets to get better. And then when I go back to beast mode, everything feels better. I've recovered and now I've hit PRs.
