Every Training Decision Has An Opposite Trade Off. Should We Rethink the All or Nothing Approach To Training | EP 58

The Tommy Brideson Show

Show Notes

One thing I have really grown out of in current years is this approach to training where you put everything on the line to complete a set or rep in the gym.

My role as a Physiotherapist and Strength Coach exposes me to a-lot of lifters who are incredibly hard working, talented and dedicated to progress.

These are all traits I admire and expect of my direct team. But the question that has come to mind over the years is at what point are we doing things because we can more so than because we should.

This episode today I talk about the other side of the all or nothing attitude to training, the potential downsides that people think about after the fact.

I want to help you train better, rehab from injuries and use training as tool for growth, every week I send out a newsletter that has a lot of really helpful information within.
