ADVICE

Practice The Sport To Build Sport Fitness

  • If you want sport-specific fitness, practice the sport more than you train in the gym.
  • Use gym work to supplement skill practice, not replace it for carryover to performance.
ADVICE

Build Practical Stamina With HIIT

  • Train general stamina with HIIT: short maximal sprints followed by full recovery.
  • Repeat until the recovery time shortens as your fitness improves.
ADVICE

Use Strength Work For Work Capacity

  • Build strength-endurance with strength work, not steady-state cardio.
  • Use compound lifts, higher reps and carries (sleds, Turkish get-ups) to improve work capacity.
