This is a fun one that we're sure you guys will love. We dissect the thought process and techniques behind programming for strength plateaus. Jesse gives specifics on how and when certain tempos, rep schemes, and combination of movements fit into a long term program. We differentiate between overreaching and overtraining. One being a sense of "burn out" that is necessary for beneficial adaptations to training, the other an extreme sense of burn out that poses the risk of injury, decline in performance, and long term health risks. We talk about the specific neurobiological mechanism behind overtraining - when fitness becomes detrimental to health - including the Glycogen hypothesis, Central Fatigue theories, glutamine hypothesis, oxidative stress, autonomic nervous system functioning, hypothalamic circuits, cytokines and neuroinflammation and more!

Here is part 2 of our hugely popular "fitness myths" segment. This week we continue this discussion, and get into why being "bulky" does not automatically mean you fatigue faster, the idea or poplar phrase that "CrossFit is terrible for the body", and this week we actually talk about IIFYM (if it fits your macros diet) apologies for adding this to part 1 description! (oops) That's it!? No, wait there's more. We uncover why the saying "rev up your metabolism" is faulty, and how metabolism, in general, is often abused, and the truth about lactic acid (hint: it's not bad after all! in fact you want this stuff in your muscles and YOUR BRAIN). Yes, we talk about shocking research from the field of neuroscience showing the brain loves lactate (lactic acid). Enjoy! (again sorry for adding some of these to last week's description - we just got so darn excited!). ---SHERRIFF'S PERFORMANCE ACADEMY--- Fitness programs that reflect client goals, assessment results, and structural balance.
