from Adjusting The Game · host Dr Andre Graca & Dr Tristan Koekemoer
Most people train hard. Fewer train smart. That’s where things quietly fall apart.In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening under the hood when you train. The three main energy systems, how they each contribute to performance and why ignoring one while overloading another is a fast track to stagnation, fatigue and eventually injury.We connect the dots between physiology and real-world training. You’ll also get a clear look at overtraining. What it really is, how it creeps in and how to avoid digging yourself into a hole you can’t recover from.If your training feels inconsistent, plateaued or just unnecessarily exhausting, this is the episode that explains why.Hosts:Dr Andre Graca https://www.instagram.com/dr_andregraca?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Dr Tristan Koekemoer https://www.instagram.com/thecapetownchiro?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Check us out at: https://www.instagram.com/adjustingthegame?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==https://www.youtube.com/@adjustingthegame/shortsSend us a message!
