Episode notes
From 10x10 Every Day To Smarter Rest Days
- Deandre recounts doing seven days a week of 10-minute live rounds which led to burnout and group-wide performance drops.
- That experiment forced the team to add rest days and split sessions, which improved results and morale.
Narrow Tasks To Maintain Skill When Fatigued
- Modulate session intensity by shortening time or narrowing the task rather than asking for an ambiguous percent effort.
- As an athlete, narrow focus to a precursor goal (e.g., get hands connected) when fatigued to maintain development without collapse.
Plan Weekly Intensity Around A Midweek Rest
- Schedule hard days after rest and enforce a midweek off day; Deandre stacks his most CNS‑demanding S&C and intense rounds on Monday.
- His week: Monday hard, Tuesday lighter, Wednesday off, Thursday hard, Friday medium, Saturday optional/light.
