Working on not over training
Hiiii, I am currently in the 5th week of the High frequency Full body program. I also train jiu jitsu 2 or 3 days a week depending on the week. I sleep well and hit daily protein intake but still feel like I could cut a day of lifting because there’s usually one day a week where I just feel exhausted. I love movement and it makes me feel great through out that day but I also don’t won’t to over extend myself?
Utilizing Muscle
I have been following your programs and have been making pretty decent progress in my strength. I have realized over the past few weeks that that muscle is not translating into any athletic movement. I tried to play some basketball and it felt like I’d never jumped or been on a court before. Is there something I can add to workouts to start being able to use the muscles for jumping, cutting, swinging, throwing, etc?
Benefits from a hot tub?
Hey! I know you guys have talked about ice immersion and saunas in the past. You spoke about some benefits of using a sauna, but I’m curious if there are any benefits in using a hot tub in terms of recovery? Getting in a hot tub puts me in my happy place for sure! Just was curious if there are any other benefits. Thank you!
Night Shift working
Hey so I work a night shift a few days a week and I know it’s far from ideal but it kinda just comes with my career. My question is how best to manage working out around this. I work 2 days, 2 nights and then 4 off. Currently run push, pull, legs, lagging areas for the 4 rest days and then I do a full body workout before my first nightshift. Seems to work pretty well but I’m more interested in finding out how I should structure meals and how to manage post night shift fatigue. Any and all advice is appreciated.
