Brad, Jeff, and Brian discuss the unavoidable side effect of generating fatigue, the current fear of doing too much that is causing some athletes to miss out on productive stretches of training, and many different strategies for managing fatigue and improving performance.

What are the limitations of choosing your exercises solely based on their theoretical stimulus-to-fatigue ratio? Can some people recover from more volume than others? How does fatigue affect your look and weight? The answers to these questions and more are covered in this episode.
