From The Source Podcast. Season 2 | Episode 36 out now.

In episode 36 of The Source Podcast, we talk about one of the reasons people experience training stalls, burnout, or injuries: poor control of training volume and intensity. Listeners are guided through the concept of progressive overload, understanding the importance of balancing intensity, and learning the signs of both overtraining and undertraining. Key strategies discussed include the importance of deloads, balancing training frequency with rest, and training with the long-term goal in mind. The episode emphasizes that consistent, mindful training over time, rather than relentless intensity, is the sustainable path to improvement.
