In Episode 7 of the Nervous System Training Podcast, we break down trending training methods and unpack what's really going on under the hood when fighters and athletes adopt extreme systems.

We analyze:

• Israel Adesanya’s David Goggins-style training and why it's likely a sign of desperation, not progress

• Foundation Training vs. Nervous System Training for longevity and performance

• Why reactive strength and foot recoil are the missing links in most fighters' training

• Hidden dangers of modern Instagram fitness trends and how coaches may be misapplying foot mechanics

• And why the foot is the king of the kinetic chain (ignore it, and you pay the price)
