INSIGHT

Strength vs. Endurance

  • Strength and endurance training involve conflicting physical adaptations, making them somewhat inversely related.
  • Prioritize one goal and dedicate 60-70% of training to it, while still incorporating the other for balance.
ADVICE

Serratus Exercises

  • Train your serratus anterior for shoulder stability using scapular push-ups, even against a wall.
  • Practice front lat spreads to connect with and activate your serratus muscles effectively.
ADVICE

Flavored Water vs. Diet Soda

  • Naturally flavored seltzer water is a healthier alternative to diet soda, being mostly just water.
  • However, avoid conditioning yourself to only drink flavored water, as this can create an aversion to plain water.
