In his words
Short videos on how Dave approaches training.
Strength comes from strategy, not sweat
Exercise is supposed to make you stronger, not leave you wrecked. Back-to-back classes, endless drop sets and chasing the burn can slow progress, because your body needs energy left over to recover and adapt.
- Work with a professional who knows how to balance intensity and recovery.
- Missing a workout isn’t failure. It’s part of the process.
- Focus on building strength, not burning out.
