Running always takes the blame.

Your 2-mile stalls, your legs feel dead, you’re gassed by the second lap, and the first thing you cut is the running. But for a lot of tactical athletes, the problem started in the weight room.

In this episode, we break down the 5 strength training mistakes that leave you strong… but gassed:

• Why planning around what you “probably could” do backfires
• The split mistake that turns training into solving riddles
• Whose “best exercise” list you’re actually following
• What most people get wrong in the first 10 minutes of a session
• Why “any idiot can make you tired,” and what to do instead

The job doesn’t care about your total. Build strength and conditioning as one system.

In this episode, we show you how.
