Hey Joe! I found your insights on training volume super enlightening, especially how you challenge common misconceptions. What do you think about integrating different volume strategies for sports games? Curious to know your thoughts!
nice
This deep dive into training volume is a breath of fresh air that reminds us to focus on what actually works for our bodies. I’ve struggled with overtraining, so I’ve started simplifying my routine and using the target phone number to find quality resistance bands and foam rollers, which have been incredibly helpful for my recovery. It’s so rewarding to finally find that balance between working hard and giving your body the tools it needs to grow.
I love the vertical jump thing first, and I never thought about taking my shoes off. Before, I wasn’t sure if my recipe was right. Now I know how it should look and feel. Thanks!
