Episode notes
Warm-ups Predict Strength Better Than Mood
- Mood and fatigue scores do not predict daily max performance reliably.
- Warm-up sets give a better immediate indication of strength readiness than subjective feelings.
Frequency vs Intensity Trade-Offs
- High frequency max effort training saturates strength adaptation signals quickly.
- Lower frequency with submaximal efforts might yield similar gains with less fatigue and psychological strain.
Begin Daily 1RM with Bench Press
- Start with bench press for daily 1RM training as it is less taxing than squat or deadlift.
- Prepare mentally for challenging days; perseverance is key to success.
