So you’re an athlete?

Then why aren’t you…

Periodizing your training?
Following the SAID principle?
Training with a specific goal or event in mind?
Progressively overloading your workouts?
Building in deload weeks and recovery?
Training your weaknesses instead of just your strengths?
Tracking performance to measure progress?
Adjusting your training to match the demands of your sport?
Developing speed, power, strength, and endurance with purpose?
Planning your training around competition, not just showing up to the gym?

Stop training just to work out. Start training to perform.

You know who you are…

But honestly proper fueling goes much further than you would expect. Quality of the fuel also matters. So while candy can be cheap and quick don’t forget that depending upon the athlete we need anywhere from 30-60g of carbs per hour during races or comps that are exceeding an hour. Which let’s be honest. That’s most sport.

If you want to be a better athlete sometimes it’s not doing more but doing less and doing those things better. Don’t half ass five things. Whole ass two things.

Got two legs that you use in your sport or activity. You probably should be squatting. Barbell back squat might be one of the better for load stimulus but that doesn’t mean all the other forms don’t also rock!
