Episode notes
Lift Before Practice

- Knocking out a 30-minute lift first avoids fatigue or distractions during strength work.
Train Close to Failure Consistently
- Consistently work at or near failure to maximize training outcomes.
- Spread out volume over days to reduce fatigue and improve progress.
Use Microdosing For Consistency
- Start with micro work bouts, even 5-10 minutes daily, to build workout consistency.
