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. That’s it. It does NOT tell you: • If adaptation is happening Without context… Data becomes noise. ..And noise makes coaches nervous. The coaches who win the next 5 years won’t be the ones with the most dashboards. They’ll be the ones who understand: Cost That’s exactly what we’re digging into at the Future of Coaching Virtual Summit. We’re talking about things most coaches are just starting to wake up to: – How AI actually fits into real coaching systems This live event is free. Yes, if you upgrade to VIP I make a small commission. No — that’s not why I’m telling you to show up.

If you’ve been dieting hard, training consistently, and still feeling stuck, we break down how chronic stress,...
It is Sunday story time so let me tell you about two athletes. Same training. Same total carbs. Same 24-hour glycogen levels. One of them performs 30% worse the next day. Can you guess why? This is where the ultra hardcore science only crowd -who rarely ever train a single person = break out the pubmed studies and declare from the mountain" “Total daily intake of carbs is all that matters.” ...but is that still true today? Grab your propeller head and hold your glute max with both hands as we...
Yesterday we talked about the VO₂ max overreaction, if you missed it go HERE. Because several of you asked smart questions via email, I wanted to do a follow up FAQ as a bonus for you. “Do I use Morpheus for MET training?” No. I like it. Joel’s a great dude and long-time friend. But I write my own cardio programming. Always have. For grip?Adam Glass coaches me. Yes, coaches should have coaches. “How has training changed as you’ve aged?” Less drama. More precision. When I was younger, I...
