Quick one tonight because the AMA audio series dies at midnight, but you can still hop in https://miket.me/physflex <--full details And before it dies, I need to tell you about the metabolic basement. Most people walk around using two fuels: Glucose and fat. That’s enough to keep the lights on. Enough to get through a normal day, to fake competence, and to survive mediocre training and decent sleep and a life that hasn’t started swinging a bat yet. But downstairs? There are two more systems...
Your heart is running on lactate right now. Yep, it is true, yet nobody told you. There’s a certain kind of coach I keep running into. Smart. Reads studies. Programs decent work. Probably has a whiteboard covered in percentages like he’s planning a military coup against weak glutes after watching "A Beautiful Mind" too many times. Then one of his athletes starts fading under repeated hard efforts. Legs get heavy. Power falls off. Face turns into that thousand-yard stare you only see in war...
Lactic acid didn’t do it. Your buffering system got mugged. There’s a certain kind of coach I’ve met a thousand times. Good intentions. Solid heart of 14 karat gold. Probably owns at least 3 overpriced recovery gadget and still says “lactic acid” like it’s 1997 and we’re all wearing Zubaz pants in a Gold’s Gym parking lot with his gallon of distilled water. ...but then his athletes starts dying halfway through a brutal set of intervals, and they spit out the same line that’s been passed...
