“You have to build the skill of competing. It isn't the same as training in the gym.”

Mandi is back from the dead, and the crew is united again. Alex tries to keep us on topic, but as usual, we go down a few rabbit holes - including VBT and Whoop Bands. We chat a lot about programming and progressions and how today's lifters are getting too distracted by the idea of "novelty" in their training.

In this episode, we chat about:

• How much bourbon Mandi drank at the Bourbon Women SIPosium
• Recent PR’s and injuries
• The official launch of Meet Week Co. and what that means
• Meet Week Co. and website coming really soon
• The importance of competing early and often
• How competing needs to be catered to the athlete
