More Isn't Better - Better Is Better: Rethinking How You Prep - Episode 9 Season 2

Coffee's optional. Cardio wisdom isn't.This week Chris and Rach are breaking down one of the most common myths in bodybuilding and fitness - that doing MORE means getting BETTER results. Spoiler: it doesn't.They're getting into why recovery is just as important as training, why your first prep should be your hardest, and what it actually means to train with intent. Plus Rach drops a race car analogy that genuinely slaps, and there's a registration day disaster story involving wrong divisions, no shoes, no wallet, and a ProCut bikini that still somehow has a happy ending.This one's for every athlete who's woken up at 4am for cardio while running on three hours sleep and called it dedication. It's not. Go to bed.Topics covered:Metabolic adaptation and why starting too hard leaves you nowhere to goVolume training and junk volume (not the same thing)DOMS, fatigue, and why suffering isn't a progress metricHow to know when your prep is actually inefficientThe bullets in the gun analogy - only so many tools up your sleeveWhy the magic is made in the off season, not during prepSigns you're overtraining and what to do about itLike and subscribe on Spotify and YouTube - it helps more than you'd think.Find us here:🎧 Follow The Macro Lounge on Spotify📸 Instagram: @macro_lounge_podcast▶ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMacroLoungePodcast📩 Email: [email protected] with us:👙 Posing School: Accentuate Posing Academy https://www.instagram.com/accentuate_posing_academy/💪 Coaching with Chris: Team Bold Physique https://www.instagram.com/teamboldphysique/✨ Competition Bikinis with Rachel: Accentuate Bikinis https://www.instagram.com/accentuatebikinis/
