Keith & Russ Take the Gloves off and Debate Starvation Sessions – Some of What we Debate:

  • Long Sessions without fuel. Yes or no?
  • Forcing adaptations through training and nutrition techniques
  • Does doing a starvation session have mental benefits?
  • Are long no fuel sessions too hard on the body to recover from?
  • Do you ever get your fueling nailed down or are there too many factors?
