What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast. And as always, I am

your host Mike Milner and I apologize if I don't sound like myself I have

been dealing with some sort of awful virus that had me laid up for the last couple of days.

Starting to turn a little bit, but it has not been fun, to say the least.

I actually had sent an email out.

Quick side note, if you're not on my email list you should

probably hit pause right now and go sign up which you can do at my website

peak optimization performance.com but I had sent an email about how I made the decision to train after just feeling like absolute crap.

And I literally knew what was going to happen and I said it I was in the car on the way the gym and I said to my

training partner and I was just like there is literally no reason for me to be training today

it's pretty much the dumbest decision and yet I made

it anyway. So sometimes we know better, but we're stubborn or at least I'm stubborn and I talked

about in the email just all the different reasons that it was

stupid it was the equivalent of jumping over a hundred dollar bill to pick up pennies because I knew that my recovery

would suffer and I definitely paid the price for it.

I felt like I got hit by a truck and was dealing with a fever and just it kind of wrecked me but uh that's alright we live

and learn even though I knew better still didn't make the right decision but

it's actually it kind of goes along with the topic today or it's somewhat of a stretch, but I'm going to make the connection anyway

because we're going to continue with the neurotransmitter series and I'm going to talk about adrenaline and the adrenaline system so

basically talking about the stress response our fight or flight mode, the role that adrenaline plays and all of that as we

continue through this neurotransmitter series.

The reason that it kind of applies to my situation with training while I was sick is the fact that when stress is high and when we have this stress response.
