You had a poor night s sleep the night before, haven t eaten for 8 hours, and your program says today is heavy squat day. Or it s your yearly review at work, stress levels are at an all-time high, and free-time for the gym is limited, what do you do? Is your training just screwed because of your situation, or is there something you can do to help maintain a productive week in the gym, even when dealing with these conflicting factors? Auto-regulation is the topic of today s podcast. We are joined by Andrea, Brad and Eric as they discuss this beneficial concept.
What is auto-regulation? What different tools can an athlete implement to help them get the most out of this strategy? Is gaging one s own R.I.R innate, or is it a skill that must be developed through time and practice like any other? These questions, plus many more are addressed in today s episode.
After taking into consideration all the variables and tools one can use to establish their programming, one thing becomes clear: knowing which variables are the most important allows for greater flexibility than we may have previously realized.
