In this short but impactful solo episode, Andrew dives into a common misconception in training: that more is always better. If you—or someone you know—are training hard 6–7 days a week but not seeing the progress you expect, this episode is for you. Andrew explains why piling on more volume or sessions can actually stall your progress, especially when recovery and quality are overlooked.

He breaks down the principles of general adaptation and supercompensation, reminding us that adaptation only happens when training is paired with adequate recovery. In today’s world of well-rounded training programs, adding more often leads to redundancy and overlapping stressors that the body can’t effectively adapt to. The solution? Focus on quality over quantity and make sure every session has purpose.

Whether you're an athlete, coach, or serious about performance, this episode challenges you to reframe how you approach your workload. Progress doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing better and recovering smarter. Tune in to hear Andrew’s insights and apply them to elevate your training game. Enjoy the episode!
