Episode notes
Remove Late Caffeine To Protect Sleep
- Avoid late caffeine because it disrupts sleep and recovery; check individual half‑life calculators.
- Remove caffeine for a few days to reset and schedule caffeine‑free blocks when starting new training phases.
Start With What Feels Natural In The Gym
- Start training with movements that feel natural and let you perform high volume without pain.
- Keep learning biomechanics so those natural choices align with effective long‑term strategies.

- Alberto tried stiff‑leg deadlifts but found they often revert to conventional pulls and didn't fit his goals.
