Resistance Training for Ashtanga:

I follow a push/pull/leg split, 3/on 1/off. I dont follow a neat m/w/f 7 day a week schedule— I rotate as best I can.

I like to lift and then practice shortly after, or I try to practice early and lift later (8 hours later, in fact).

When I’m short on time, I do a full body work out 2-3x a week, alternating between compound pushing and pulling movements.

If I’m in a hypertrophy (mass building) phase, im lifting for about an hour. If I’m in a maintenance phase, its about 30 minutes. If i need an attitude adjustment, its a group class.
