Episode #126: Athlete Progress & Scales - To Weigh Or Not To Weigh?

Are you an athlete who is fixated on weighing yourself on the scales?Do you base your success and progress on what the scale says?Has weighing yourself become an obsession?In this episode, we sit down and uncover the reality that many athletes experience when it comes to measuring their progress - whether that be for physique change or performance gains.
