Recovery

Motivation

3.31.13 MWOD

MWOD = Mental Workout Of the Day

Rest Day

What is conditioning?

  • Explains what conditioning is and how to quantify it.

  • Lays out the difference (from a power output standpoint) between endurance athletes (like Lance “Integrity is my middle name” Armstrong) and explosive athletes (like Adrian “I have the same mutant power as Wolverine” Peterson)
