Training Intensity - Is It Important?

Intensity is everything—if you’re not training hard enough, you’re not getting results.

In this episode, Lachy & Raph unpack the most misunderstood variable in training: intensity. They break down what “training hard” actually means, how to avoid wasting time with junk volume, and the surprising truth about overtraining (hint: you’re probably nowhere near it).

You’ll learn:

  • Why beginners can get away with anything—but intermediates need to train harder

  • The optimal intensity zone: 1–3 reps from mechanical failure

  • How to spot true failure vs. just getting tired

  • The biggest difference between training alone vs. with a coach or group

  • Why most solo lifters make zero progress

  • What “overtraining” actually looks like—and why it’s rare

  • Simple signs you’re not training hard enough

  • How to use failure safely to unlock results

  • The environment Lockeroom creates to safely push intensity every session

Whether you’re stuck in a plateau or just starting out, this episode helps you dial in the right dose of intensity to actually build strength, fitness, and results that last.
