We had a tournament this weekend.
We come back in.
We reclaim your positions.
There's actual life going on.
Hey, we're working on β what you'll see is that the strength and conditioning done by real sports teams changes a lot.
Travel, competition, off-season, in-season, when do we turn up?
I can't β I mean, one of my critiques of strength and conditioning right now is that like β
If you train kids the way we're training adults who don't do sports or train anyone like adults who don't do sports, you will crush them and they won't be able to do their sport.
So if you and I train together and then you're like, Kelly, I wasn't able to surf today because I'm so beat up.
I'm like, well, it doesn't matter.
It does matter.
So, ultimately, we're trying to get to a place where we can start to think about this training as having context instead of just being recursive hell where, oh, my VO2 came down or my pull-ups came down.
I lost some capacity.
Yes, you should lose capacity.
You went on vacation, right?
You did a sport.
You hiked the Grand Canyon.
Like, of course, your pull-ups are going to change.
come back in and get restarted again.
Don't see it as this like perfect decorative room, which doesn't match your lifestyle, your stress, your nutrition.
