decreasing your training or doing light intensity training or no training at all, doing some light active recovery versus just laying on the couch all day.

That's not necessarily the ideal way to recover.

And then, you know, focusing on sleep, focusing on eating, focusing on your protein intake, but obviously just eating enough to sustain your training and to rebuild the muscle so it can get stronger.

And then the final one was mindset and execution.

Focus on execution rather than being perfect.

I mean, you know, we in this world of health and fitness, dare I say biohacking, but I like to focus on the very specifics of things like I got to get the sets perfectly right or the weight perfectly right.

And

Obviously, those can be important, but what the main thing is, is executing it week after week, doing the training and not focusing on you are at the perfect heart rate or the perfect lactate level or lifting, you know, this perfect amount of weight down to the 0.1 kilogram.

Just execute week after week, and that will lead to consistent gains.

Yeah, again, I think all of the principles that Lane provided when you were talking to him during your interview were great.

And everybody should just keep those in the back of their minds when they're thinking about training, in addition to structuring their training, which we will talk about how to do very soon.

It definitely does, you know, increasing that blood flow.

So I think it's, you know, you basically are doing a form of like active recovery.

And that's why I think if you do strength training and you, you know, or a hard run, even in lay around on the couch all day, the next day, you just feel sore, you feel stiff, you don't feel good.

So yeah, I think your zone two training sessions are kind of having a dual benefit there.

They're increasing your fitness, but then they're also providing some good recovery for from your resistance, from your resistance training session.

I think it can be counterproductive to train if you're overly psychologically stressed.

I mean, when you were talking with Lane, I think you talked about, you know, there are several studies showing like psychological stress, it increases your injury risk.

Your training session is not going to be compromised.

I mean, I know exercise for myself and many other people can be stress relieving, but if there's something majorly stressful and it's going to either compromise your training or increase your injury risk, then you should probably just maybe take a recovery day or take an easy day if you had something more intense planned.
