October 05, 2025The coaching mistakes you don’t know you’re making | J3U Podcast // Ep 194
Flat or spilled—or just tired and inflamed?
John and Luke show you how to build a peak-week assessment that actually works: daily photo/weight flows, “matrix” ranges for food/fluids/sodium, and the cues that tell you when to push or pull back.

Plus: dealing with travel, lighting, leg-day timing, and athlete honesty so you don’t misread a look on show day.
You’ll learn to:
Tell flat vs. full vs. spilled with confidence
Use data (not vibes) to steer the peak
Avoid common traps—lighting, stress, inflammation, timeline crunch
Set non-negotiable check-in cadence that keeps you in control
