Most training plateaus, injury flare-ups, and frustrating setbacks aren’t random, and they’re not because you’re unmotivated or broken.
They’re often a load problem.
In this Season 3 opener of the PT³ Podcast, I break down what load actually is, far beyond just weight on a bar, and how it applies across training, rehab, and coaching. You’ll learn how stress, recovery, and capacity interact, why progress stalls even when effort is high, and how to make smarter adjustments instead of guessing.
This episode is designed to be dense, practical, and immediately useful, whether you’re lifting, running, returning from injury, or just trying to feel better and more capable in your body.
In this episode, we cover:
What “load” really means in the context of human performance
The most common ways people mismanage load
Why motivation often outpaces tissue capacity
How load applies the same way in training, rehab, and coaching
Practical frameworks to adjust load without overcorrecting
How to use symptoms as information instead of instructions
