When and why to NOT use HRV
|
The coaching industry is splitting into two camps. And the dividing line is coming fast. On one side… You have Optimizer Otto. Otto owns every wearable known to mankind. HRV tracker. He wakes up. HRV slightly down. Otto panics. Changes the program. All based on one snapshot of data. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: HRV only tells you the status of the ANS at the moment of measurement.

Then the supplement companies arrive followed fast by the...
Aaaah, my buddy Joe Rogan. I will get hate for this but overall I love Joe and his show most of the time… …however, the practice of going ballZ deep at 33F in the ice bath as a recommendation to start is bonkers. This has also spun off a whole slew of “Cold Water BroZ” via the cult of Joe with their own epic posting about their love of cold water immersion after lifting ‘cuz "recovery, bro." Can doing cold water immersion (CWI) immediately after lifting stall your gainZ? Here's what's...
Newsflash Brosefus, your body does not want to add more muscle, run faster, and get leaner all by itself. This is not a motivational failure nor a mindset problem where you just need to biohack your way out or keep trying harder. This is physiology at its most fundamental as your body is designed to survive above everything. A massive part of this survival mechanism is homeostasis, your body's insane, around-the-clock commitment to holding its internal environment constant no matter what you...
