Attached are your nutrition & training protocols for next week. If there are any conflicts with your schedule that will keep you from being able to complete as indicated, please focus on completing the warm up and the cool down as indicated – shorten the main sets for optimum performance and recovery.
Scheduling is the Key To Success
The key to maximizing your efforts this week is to be on schedule with EVERYTHING in your life: when to go to bed & wake up; knowing what to eat and allowing enough time to purchase, prep and consume; allotting enough time to work out (warm up, main set and cool down); taking the time to stretch and work on any trigger points in your body. Though we discuss this on a regular basis, the key to maximizing your productivity is being and doing exactly what is on your schedule. The reason for this is about your mental focus.
When you are focused on your task at hand, you will make bigger gains in shorter time. Think about something as simple as eating. When you take the time to chew your food properly, you enhance the absorption of vitamins and minerals through your mouth. Keep in mind that your level of progress on a daily basis is a sum total of your productivity, not how much time you put into your day.
As always, your goal needs to be Work Smart, Not Hard and Avoid Overtraining!
Yours in sport & health,
-Coach Robb, Coaches and Staff
