About this episode

Why do the best athletes train less intensely than you might think โ€” and still get better results? In this episode, Ben, Cole, and Jamison break down the seven training principles that separate elite performance from burnout: warming up like you mean it, lifting with intention instead of ego, and understanding that pacing is the actual secret to getting fitter. You'll discover why training at 60% effort builds more capacity than going all-out every session, why rest days aren't optional, and how discipline beats intensity every single time. These aren't hacks โ€” they're the fundamentals that create sustainable, lifelong strength. If you're training hard but not seeing results, this episode will change how you show up in the gym tomorrow.๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Get the full Listener's Guide hereโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ Free Newsletter & the Chase Club๐Ÿ‘‹ New to Chasing Excellence?
