Training With Intent - Are You Leaving Gains On the Table?
If you’re wondering why you’re not getting stronger, faster, or leaner after “putting in the work,” this blog is for you.
I see it on social media and in my own gym sometimes - people just going through the motions absentmindedly.
Unlike at work, you really can’t just check the box and get paid, so to speak.
Recovery Reimagined - Part 1
What is Recovery?
I have spent a lot of time thinking on how to explain Recovery to people. I have thought about leading in with myth-busting on protein, joining the “more sleep” brigade, and even thought about going to war with the anti-CWI (cold water immersion) populus. But, none of those sat right with me. I don’t want to make this a “side taking” piece. I want this to change your perspective on not only how you understand recovery, but also how you understand life. What I want most is for you, after reading this, to reflect on your life and immediately know how to change food, routines, intensities, etc. in a way that optimizes your living experience and increases your capacity to truly live a full and healthy life. For us to grasp this concept of recovery, we must first understand what life is.
How Does One “Self-Care”?
I’m glad you’re here. This may be one of the most important blogs you’ll ever read. Not because I’m an outstanding writer, no. I’ve peer reviewed too many papers back in high school and college to believe that. This is one of the most important blogs you’ll ever read because the content is human on the most fundamental level. This blog is about got-dam self-care and if you’re not doing it, you’re dying a lot faster than those that are.
