Episode notes
Passing Out From Overreaching
- During a high-volume front squat set I blacked out and woke up covered in vomit after pushing through breath restriction.
- That episode came from extreme volume and poor breathing mechanics during heavy sets.
Refuel With Carbs Not Fat
- After heavy training, include simple carbohydrates like bananas to refuel glycogen quickly.
- Avoid very fatty foods right after workouts because fat slows digestion and can make you sleepy or nauseous.
Skip Alcohol After Heavy Lifts
- Avoid drinking alcohol immediately after heavy training because it impairs protein synthesis and recovery.
- Expect poorer next-day performance and sickness if you combine heavy lifting with drinking.
