The Lord blessed me with a great strength training session at the gym today.
Only 69 days till my ultra. Resistance training is crucial for improving body proportions and preventing muscle loss during a training phase. While any type of resistance training is effective if you stick to it, bodybuilding style training is recommended for maximizing your overall fitness level. You need to maintain full range of motion, good form, and increasing weight and reps over time. To ensure adherence, it's important to have a strong "why" for getting in shape. Focus on training close to failure and progressively overloading your lifts. Practice mindful lifting with controlled movements, especially during the eccentric or lowering phase. There isn't a "special" training plan for an ultra. It's about doing the basics well, training hard enough, sufficient volume, working each muscle group at least twice a week, and consistency.
