I have a question about the episode #1251 | Going to Failure, Risks & Benefits of Jefferson Curls, Truth About Being Big-boned & More and the clip Overcoming Gym Burnout. 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.

Is my understanding correct that to practice physical skills optimally, I should get clear, calm, and focused; keep sessions shorter and more frequent throughout the day; spike adrenaline afterwards; and use micro rests during the learning process, as discussed in the episode Georges St-Pierre, John Danaher & Gordon Ryan: The Greatest of All Time | Lex Fridman Podcast #260 and the clip Training and Recovery?
