Episode 139: Athlete Monitoring with Heart Rate Variability, Velocity Based Training, and More with Travis Mash
In today's Flex Diet Podcast, I speak with my good friend Travis Mash about a number of fascinating topics. Travis fills me in on what it's like going back to school and earning his Ph.D. in his forties. He also shares his latest research, and we speak about HRV, reactive strength index (RSI), velocity-based training, and many other ways to monitor athletes. Last, we talk about flywheel training.
