Episode notes
Shift Bedtime Earlier To Multiply Sleep Value
- Use WHOOP to become aware and then research small habit changes like earlier sleep and hydration.
- Bert learned every hour before midnight is worth two hours and used that to shift bedtime earlier.
Use The Strain Coach To Set Daily Workout Targets
- Follow WHOOP's strain coach to pick a target workout intensity instead of guessing.
- Bert uses the coach to aim for a daily strain (e.g., 10) and then paces treadmill incline/speed to reach it and feel accomplished.
Sauna And Cold Plunge Show Big Heart Rate Swings
- Bert adopted sauna and cold plunge routines on tour and measures immediate heart-rate effects with WHOOP.
- He notes sauna raises heart rate into zone two and a cold plunge quickly drops it to the mid-60s after box-breathing.
