Why do you get injured or sore from doing the same exercises every workout in the episode Exercise, nutrition and recovery for women | Alyssa Olenick (Part 2) and the clip Training for Quality?
I have a question about the episode 1109: Michael Israetel | Fitness Myths and Science-Based Solutions and the clip Comeback Strength. I am a 25-year-old retired college hockey player who used to have a sports-specific workout throughout my youth and early 20s. It has been 3 years, going on 4, since I graduated from college, and I have hit a gym plateau. I have been using the gym to manage my anxious, high-energy feelings but have lost a sense of what I am capable of. I feel burnt out and lack an understanding of how much my body should endure in the gym. I am curious about how to get my body back to where I am confident I can perform certain lifts without the long-term aches and pains that tend to follow today.
