• Why data is important
• My bias is a training notebook vs. an app
• What to include
  • Training plan
  • Date, time, duration
  • HRV, RHR, and sleep data
  • Exercise, sets, reps, time to complete sets, duration /density
  • Intensity - the percentage of 1RM, RPE or RIR
  • Other: pre-workout or electrolytes, how I felt, diet changes
  • Keep PRs in the back of the notebook
• Other general notes
  • Turn off your phone
  • Bluetooth headphones
  • Death metal shirt and headband = less talking to me
• Review every 4-6 weeks
• New micro-lecture available about eye position, breathing, etc between sets (pay what you want)

Today's Flex Diet Podcast is brought to you by the Flex Diet online business mentorship. The mentorship has four parts. The first focuses on program design, exercise, and assessment. The second part covers marketing and business, and how to do an online content-based model. Third, we go through mindset, and  the fourth part covers personal development. If you're interested, the mentorship starts at the beginning of January 2022. Contact me and fill out an application.

• Lactate's  potential  benefits
• Lactate as a fuel source
• Why lactate gets a bad rap
• Review of a new study published in Current Research Physiology, September 2021: The Effect of Lactate Administration on Mouse Skeletal Muscle Under Caloric Restriction
  • Methodology
  • Testing
  • Results
• My thoughts on the  study
• Where more data is needed

This podcast is brought to you by the physiologic flexibility certification course. In the course, I talk about the body's homeostatic regulators and how you can train them. The benefit is enhanced recovery and greater robustness. We cover breathing techniques, CWI, sauna, HIIT, diet, and more. Sign up for the waitlist, and you'll be notified as soon as the course opens.
