The sort of strength training I did before Maffetone was too much. Too many exercises, too many reps, too much complexity, too much soreness, too much like bodybuilding. It was never really sustainable for more than a few months, even the typical routines suggested for endurance folk.
When I stripped things down to the basic human movements of squat, hinge, push and pull, and training for strength rather than fatigue, things turned around.
It took awhile, but thanks to Pavel and Maffetone, I learned that “less is more” often rings true.
