SS 036 - Training the Nervous System with Mike Ritter
Today we’re joined by trainer, author and all around good dude, Mike Ritter. In this episode we discuss a listener question on training and the nervous system. We chat about how to use your rest to improve performance in the gym and how to use HRV to keep tabs on your nervous system. We also get into Mike’s fantastic book, The Fitness Revival… something you should all check out. This episode was powered by Jefferson’s Reserve Bourbon.
