In our @paragontrainingmethods workouts, we’re bodybuilding + strength training 3-4x/wk, getting 1-2 sessions of zone2 cardio, one session of zone5 sprint work, and two total rest days.
Our members have loved introducing Zone 2 and Zone 5 cardio via our optional cardio add-on program to pair with our evidence-based hypertrophy programs.
The add-on program includes:
🔵 Up to Two Zone 2 sessions per week
🔵 An optional Zone 5 session per week
🔵 An accompanying blog that shows you how to pair with either the 3-Day or 4-Day Physique programming and still get in your rest days!
Zone 2 = slow and steady cardio. It’s an “easier” pace where you’re trying to keep your heart rate between ~60-70% of max heart rate. Biking, rowing, or briskly walking on an incline treadmill are usually the best options for Z2. You CAN run, ski erg, etc - just might have to work a lil harder to maintain heart rate.
Zone 5 = Sprints to get your heart rate up as high as possible. Assault bike intervals, sprints on the rower, hill sprints, are easier options to push into Zone 5!
What’s your fave way to do cardio
(run, trail run, bike, row, ski...)?

Sumo vs Conventional Deadlifts (save this video!)

Sumo vs Conventional Deadlifts (save this video!) 🏋️‍♀️
Are you Team Sumo or Conventional Deadlift?
Let me know in the comments!!
Regardless of which you prefer, Deadlift variations should be a regular staple in your lifting routine as they work the glutes, hamstrings, core, and lower back all in one.
Sumo Deadlift: *Wide feet
*Feet externally rotated out
*Hands more narrow
*Bring hips into bar so torso is more vertical/upright
Conventional Deadlift:
*Narrow feet (about hip width apart)
*Hands just outside of shoulders
*Shoulders slightly in front of bar
We love programming both deadlift variations regularly in our @paragontrainingmethods workouts, as each variation emphasizes slightly different muscle groups.
Our members are currently smashing all the heavy dead’s with the 6-week strength cycles that just started! 🤩
Remember that everyone has slightly different anatomy and thus will have a slightly different set-up. So don’t be shy to play around and see where you feel best and pull strongest!

Lifting at home? Save this free workout from our 3-Day Home Gym Physique program
3-Day Physique is the perfect (workout) match for those who can’t (or don’t want) to spend more than 3 days lifting and working out each week.
It’s also perfect for combining with other sports or hobbies (like running, yoga, hiking, surfing, BJJ, Peloton, etc)
And working out from home doesn’t have to meet getting “less” of a workout. Look great, feel great, get strong, and have a good time - all while not having to leave the comfort of your house 🫶🏻
