(2:00) Vinnie used to love "ski skates." (6:00) A little backstory on Vinnie's early interest in sports. (9:00) He loved the show "The Wide World of Sports" while growing up in the 1970s and '80s. This is how he got introduced to Jack LaLane. He started mimicking what he was learning. Weightlifting 101 You'll want to take notes. (27:00) Both aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (weights) training are important. Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! (29:00) It's important to balance with both pushing and pulling movements. Compound movement is moving more than one joint at a time. (31:30) Auxiliary exercises are good for isolation and definition but aren't as necessary as compound movements. (34:30) Compound movements will also save you time. Reps and Sets (39:00) Vinnie has tried various protocols. He describes what his preferred method is. He likes three sets: one for warm-up, one for just short of failure, and one until failure. Do not go to failure when you are alone for moves like bench presses when doing free weights, etc. Do not drop or throw your weights around—you'll just look like an asshole. (42:00) You don't have to go to failure if you're noticing an increase in strength over time. Leg Day Never skip Leg Day. (45:30) His four preferred exercises for this are squats, lunges, deadlifts, and leg press. He picks at least three of the four every time. He describes a twice-a-week workout, which can work great for maintaining muscle strength. (50:00) Basic bodyweight exercises can be effective, too! Where there is a will, there's a way!
