Episode notes
Calm Nervous System Is The First Target
- Supplements won't help if you're chronically sympathetic and 'wired and tired.'
- Calming the nervous system is the first step before mitochondrial interventions work.
Train From A Calm State, Recover Faster
- Enter training relaxed to preserve sympathetic reserve and produce a bigger training stimulus.
- Downregulate quickly after sets and post-workout to recover and build muscle.
Downregulate Between Sets
- Between sets, practice breathing, posture, and CO2 training to downregulate and refill your reserve.
- This improves performance on the next set and aids recovery.
