You’ve been told to hustle harder. To grind every day. To live in beast mode. But what if that mindset is actually killing your progress?
In this episode, James breaks down the myth of “no days off” and exposes why maximum effort all the time doesn’t lead to maximum results. You’ll learn the truth about progressive overload, the 10% rule of progression, and why periodization and consistency are the real secrets to lasting strength.
Whether you’re a HYROX athlete, an OCR warrior, a distance runner, or just someone trying to level up in life—this episode will challenge your thinking and help you train smarter, not harder.
The goal isn’t just to get strong—it’s to stay strong.
Because when you change your mind, you change your life.
