How to cheat the system and win: Three biohacks to fast track your performance

The human body is a complex biological organism made up of various multifaceted systems. While at first this can make the task of training a bit mind boggling and confusing. It also opens up a number of loop holes that we can tap into and get rapid improvements in different aspects of our performance.

When looking at an athlete's performance it is smart to first look at the smallest possible change that can be made, that will result in the biggest performance improvement.

While this sounds logical I am always surprised at how many athletes I see focusing on the small details that result in small gains before they nail these big gains.

In this article I want to give you three principles that you can use to hack your biology so you can start getting some big gains from your training investment.

1) Don't be insane, do something different

No doubt, most people reading this will know the old saying; 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result'. The really insane thing is that most know this and still approach their training in this way. The human body is an extremely adaptable organism and will adapt quickly to deal with new stressors. When it comes to training, once adapted the body requires a different training stress to adapt further. If the body is continually exposed to the same training stress then your performance gains will quickly plateau out.

You can use this knowledge to help rapidly boost your performance. If you add a different training method or technique into the mix you will get really good rapid gains as the cells in your body scramble to quickly try and reorganise themselves to deal with the new training stress. So don't be insane, start making some changes in your training.
