Big, Weak, and Undisciplined w/ Chris and Curt

Send us a text

Curt and I know a lot about a lot, but steroids are not on the list of deeply researched or understood topics.  But that doesn't stop us from trying!  Get past the first couple of minutes so we can really dazzle you with some answers to listener questions.

How can I stay big and broad and still work to improve my cardio and mobility?  Well, depending on what you think is "big and broad" you may not be able to get to that 4 hour marathon.  But, with a lot of smart work you can be well rounded and preserve the muscle you have.  A different question might be, is being big and broad the best thing for firefighting and a long career?

How can I feel so good doing a workout, and then next week feel so terrible doing the same workout?  That is a question for the ages and lots of things can factor in.  For females, your cycle can drastically impact your performance, energy, and recovery.  Along with that we go into the pillars of firefighter wellness, some methods to get around it, and a reassurance that, these things happen.

Finally we're talking about discipline.  Well, we were until Curt has a giggle fit and interrupts some profound pontification.  Next time you think about discipline, replace that with the word Structure, and see where the thought project takes you.
