Fusion Hack: Training Intensity with Drew Brannon, Javier Fraga, Shelbie Corey, and Allyson Spungin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you training hard enough to actually grow? Drew Brandon and the training team unpack practical ways to measure real effort—like watching rep speed slow as you approach failure—and explain how to use RPE and RIR once your form is dialed in. They cover tempo myths, why a faster concentric can reveal true proximity to failure, and how a simple checklist can keep you from over-cueing and underperforming. You’ll hear how in-person or group environments often unlock intensity many athletes haven’t reached on their own, plus how smart recovery and deloads fit into the bigger picture.
What You'll Learn:
- The simplest indicators you’re within a few reps of failure (movement velocity, rep quality)
- How to use RPE and RIR effectively—and when they’re most accurate
- Why fewer cues and a short setup checklist often lead to bigger lifts
- The 80–90% form rule, technical failure standards, and filming your sets
- Remote vs. in-person intensity differences and how group energy elevates output
- Recovery markers, when a deload helps, and training without fear of injury
Ready to push closer to failure, recover smarter, and finally see the progress you’ve been chasing? #TrainingIntensity #RPE #Hypertrophy #FitBodyFusion #Deload
