Summary

Your best performance doesn't define your capacity. Your worst day does. In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between raising your ceiling and raising your floor in fitness, and why most people are training for the wrong one. I don't care how much you can lift on your best day. I care what you can do when you don't sleep well, life is stressful, or your body isn't cooperating. That's where your actual capacity shows up, and that's what we're going to talk about in this episode. If you're stuck in a cycle of progress, setback, restart, this reframe will change how you think about training. 1:1 Assessment/Consult: https://jenhosler.com/monthly-coaching/ Movement School Wait List: https://jenhosler.com/movement-school/
