Episode notes
Progressively Acclimate To Heat
- Acclimate to heat by training in the hottest part of day progressively through spring and summer.
- Spend several weeks (about a month) in heat exposure to gain physiological and mental adaptation.
Heavy Lifting Hurt In‑Season Performance
- Brian recalled lifting heavily in college and later feeling much faster after easing off heavy gym work.
- He noticed teammates said he was "flying" once he reduced chronic heavy lifting load.
Progress Strength With Submaximal Loading
- Improve strength without maxing out by using submaximal sets (e.g., 3s instead of 6s).
- Progress volume or reps gradually to avoid failure and heavy nervous-system stress.
