Listen to this episode

0:00 / 0:00

Summary

Alberto, Brian, Brad, and Jeff discuss why it’s important to track your training, who should track their training, and what details to track based on your experience level. What issues can happen when someone is too focused on beating the logbook? Do the coaches ever have an athlete track volume load or is that a thing of the past? What are the coaches’ thoughts on decreasing load to work on technique? How can increasing load too quickly result in a reduced stimulus? How can reducing loads during prep potentially lead to more muscle retention? What recommendation do the coaches have for those who don’t like tracking their training? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.

    Ideas, morals, opinions, are incredibly complex in their composition and role in our lives. Why has our culture insisted that we subscribe to a black and white view of our surroundings? Are you tired of seeing in black and white? Are you too scared to try seeing in color? This isn't a political commentary podcast; it's a call to anyone who is tired of polarization.
