Episode notes
Trust The Process, Not Daily Signals
- Trust a process-driven approach and focus on consistent required work rather than daily mirror or scale fluctuations.
- Keep training intensity and nutrition consistent during phases instead of reacting to small short-term changes.
Strength Builds Work Capacity
- Hypertrophy plus endurance creates both localized and systemic fatigue that can conflict with high-volume plans.
- A strength foundation increases work capacity and helps manage combined hypertrophy and endurance volume.
Accept Short-Term Lifting Cuts
- Accept short-term reductions in lifting volume during race peaking and keep intensity to maintain strength.
- View reduced gym time when peaking as a temporary compromise for long-term gains in both disciplines.
