On this episode of Prepare to Win we’re talking (explicitly) about Ideals versus Reality. This starts largely with the topic of nutrition and transitions into gym selection, strength training, egos in the gym, and the reality of what your time looks like each day.
We also have Q&A discussing Whoop and what former athletes should focus on as they get older.
Show Topics:
1. Messing up a single meal versus giving up on the entire day of nutrition.
2. Prioritization of goals being more important than momentary enjoyment.
3. No one cares how strong you are or aren’t in the gym. (17:45)
4. Time will never be ideal. (22:05)
5. The correlation between commitment in the gym and success in employment. (34:45)
6. There is always time. (46:25)
Q&A:
1. Why is the Whoop popular when it doesn’t do a good job with HRV monitoring? (1:04:40)
2. For ex-athletes (40 y/o and older) is it basically ok to go into cruise control because you already hit your best? (1:05:40)
