In episode 198 last week, I talked about the ways you can stay informed without doomscrolling. In this episode, I talk about how scrolling on social media may impact your performance in the gym and in sport. It is my hope that this episode will help you consider the impact that scrolling (even beforehand and not during) can have on your training overall. As always, I also give tips and tricks for other things you can do besides scrolling before or during your training.

Here are the studies I reference in this episode so you can nerd-out as well:
