    Cut Your Gym Time: Science-Backed Ways to Build Muscle Faster

    Yes, you can achieve the same strength and muscle growth with shorter, time-efficient resistance training sessions as you would with longer traditional workouts, according to research discussed in this “Master Instructor Roundtable.” The main question this episode answers is: "Can time-efficient resistance training give you the same results as longer, traditional sessions?" Hosts Wendy Batts and Marty Miller break down recent NASM-backed research showing that shorter workouts—sometimes cutting total duration by 30 to 50 percent—can be just as effective for strength and hypertrophy, provided the right strategies are used. They explain specific techniques such as focusing on exercise selection (like multi-joint movements), using supersets, drop sets, and rest-pause methods, and making thoughtful adjustments to rest intervals and weekly training volume. Listeners will learn how to program sessions efficiently for clients with tight schedules, challenge the myths about workout length, and use the OPT model to guide their approach. Practical advice helps trainers understand how to adapt routines without compromising safety or results, all supported by current NASM sources. Chapters: 00:00 What is time-efficient resistance training and why does it matter? 02:21 Why do clients say they do not have time to work out? 03:32 Is it possible to get muscle gains with shorter workouts? 06:08 How does volume and frequency affect strength and hypertrophy? 08:03 What exercises and equipment are most efficient for results? 10:00 How should you adjust rest intervals for shorter sessions? 13:13 What are drop sets, supersets, and rest-pause techniques? 18:13 How does the NASM OPT model fit with time-efficient training? 22:30 What should trainers tell clients who have limited workout time?

    How the LESS Test Reveals ACL Injury Risk in Athletes

    The main question this episode answers is: What is the LESS (Landing Error Scoring System) test, and how can fitness professionals use its research-based assessment to reduce ACL injury risk in clients, especially when considering anticipated versus unanticipated movement? The LESS test is a movement assessment that helps identify lower extremity dysfunction and ACL injury risk by evaluating how clients land from a jump, whether they know what to expect (anticipated) or are reacting to new stimuli (unanticipated). NASM experts Wendy Batts and Marty Miller break down recent, peer-reviewed NASM research from the open-access Journal of Fitness, Wellness, and Human Performance to demonstrate how to accurately use the LESS test with athletes and everyday clients. This “Master Instructor Roundtable” guides listeners through the test’s setup, scoring system, practical applications, and the science supporting both anticipated and unanticipated testing situations. Listeners will learn how to integrate this assessment safely, score it correctly using video, and interpret results to inform program design that decreases ACL and other lower limb injury risks. By the end of the episode, fitness professionals will be equipped to decide when and how to use the LESS test and adapt their programs for better, safer movement performance. Chapters: 00:00:05 What is the LESS test and why is it important for injury risk?00:01:43 How does the LESS assess lower extremity function for athletes and non-athletes? 00:03:12 Why is power training and assessment needed for all clients?00:05:18 How is the LESS test set up and what exactly does it measure?00:08:13 What are the preconditions for using the LESS safely and effectively? 00:09:05 Who developed and validated the LESS and what is its research foundation? 00:14:55 What is the difference between anticipated and unanticipated LESS testing? 00:16:30 How does the LESS test scoring system work and what do scores mean? 00:22:31 Why does unanticipated movement increase ACL injury risk according to the research? 00:26:38 How can trainers use LESS results to design better injury-prevention programs? 00:33:59 What practical strategies can I use to apply LESS research in my client sessions? 00:34:16 What types of unanticipated reactive training can reduce real-life injury risk?
