WHOOP Strategic Partnerships & Performance Manager, Mike Lombardi

We dive deep into rowing technique and training methodology with
Mike Lombardi! Listen in to geek out with us! This episode was
gold! 





A little about WHOOP: We believe everyone has an inner potential.
A potential to perform at their highest level. We believe this
potential can be harnessed by uncovering secrets your body is
trying to tell you. As humans, we wander through life with
remarkably little information on how our bodies are performing.
As my co-founder John used to say, “I can predict the weather
next week, I know detailed health and performance metrics of my
computer, but I don’t know when I’m going to get sick or how hard
I should workout today.” Why are you tired, sick, injured,
fatigued? What sequence of actions (or lack thereof) led to that
state? Conversely, why are you peaking physically, alert,
primed…in the flow state? How can you get back there? Stay there?
 I grew up loving sports and exercise. Many of my childhood
heroes were athletes. I was recruited to Harvard and became
Captain of the Men’s Varsity Squash Team. As a D1 athlete, I was
amazed by how little I knew about my body. I would train for 3
hours a day with my teammates without knowing what gains I made,
I was surrounded by athletes, myself included, who overtrained,
misinterpreted fitness peaks, underestimated recovery and sleep,
and got injured. Being prepared for game day often seemed…
random.  I became inspired by a simple idea: Humans,
especially athletes, could optimize their daily performance.
Optimizing performance was not a random sequence of events and
decisions, but rather a systematic approach to understanding your
body.
