Constructing and following a hybrid training program takes more meticulousness than most other forms of training. 

Endurance training and strength/hypertrophy training don't directly support one another past a certain point, and if you're looking to improve your endurance, get stronger and build muscle simultaneously, it's easy to fall victim to frustration, overuse injury, or overtraining. 

In this episode, I cover 7 of the most common hybrid/concurrent training mistakes and how to avoid them to reach your goals faster. 

The mistakes include:

• Too much workload/volume (200% program)
• Extracurriculars (BJJ/Basketball/Men's Leagues)
• Unrealistic expectations
• Lack of periodization
• Easy stuff not easy enough
• Hard stuff not hard enough
• Junk volume (miles/lifting)

Whether you're following a hybrid program yourself, looking to start one, or have struggled reaching conflicting fitness goals in the past, this episode will provide you with the knowledge needed to fix your program and enhance your chances of success moving forward.

Supplements?
Sauna?
Normatec pants?
Red light therapy?
These are the tools for recovery, right?

While these things aren't useless, they pale in comparison to the big 3
Sleep
Nutrition
Stress management

If you've been listening to the show or consuming any other fitness content, you're likely aware of the big 3. These are the "what" of recovery, but what's typically missing is the "how" and the "why". In this episode, I talk about why mastering the big 3 will help you recvover, as well as specific habits you can lock in to improve your ability to recover in your training sessions. Following a good program is non-negotiable, but we only perform to the degree in which we recover. If you're not doing the right things outside of training, you won't be able to perform the way you want in training. EVERY training session has the potential to move the needle in the right direction, keep the needle in the same place, or even move the needle in the wrong direction. Your chances of getting selected are closely related to how many positive needle moving sessions you can compile during your train up. 

Additionally, these habits do not solely apply to selection prep candidates. They apply to ANYONE looking to level up in ANY area of life. Your potential progress relates heavily to what you do daily. Detrimental habits like scrolling, pressing snooze, disregarding your morning and evening routine, not tracking your metrics will result in a reactive, rather than a proactive life.

This episode will provide you the most profound tools and tactics that allow for better performance, recovery, cognition, and overall outlook on life. Don't miss it.
