Sustainable Training Framework
Train smart, not hard
The Sustainable Training Framework emphasizes the importance of finding a training frequency and volume that is enjoyable and sustainable in the long term, rather than pushing oneself too hard and risking injury or burnout. This approach prioritizes consistency and progressive overload, allowing individuals to make steady gains over time.
