In ETP 211, we dig into Bryan’s recent adventure into his intuitive training Bro Split, and whether ditching the logbook is a sign of experience or a terrible idea. We explore the argument between tracking vs “feeling”, break down the real nuances of progressive overload, and discuss why the stimulus derived might matter more than the absolute weight being used.

We also cover how this training strategy might shift depending on where you are in your journey, and why the answers to some of the biggest questions in training aren't as settled as the fitness industry likes to pretend.
