In this discussion with Dr. Austin Baraki, we talk about his recent research on the topic of psychosocial influences on training. He tells us what the data says about their effects on performance. We explore how expectations and management strategies can mitigate the effects of Our Feels on our recovery, adaptation, and performance, including some specific strategies coaches and lifters can use to keep training on track in the face of high stress or strong feelings.
