    Why You're Training Hard and Still Feel Like Sh*t

    You're showing up. You're putting in the work. So why do you feel exhausted, stalled, and beat up? It's not about working harder — it's about training smarter with the right foundation. In this episode, Blake breaks down the 3 principles every former athlete needs to stop spinning their wheels and start training with real intention again. ✅ PURPOSE — Know your macro goal, your weekly training intent, and what every single session is actually for ✅ SYSTEMS — Understand your energy systems, build a real recovery system, and fuel like the athlete you are ✅ AUTONOMY — Develop the body awareness to gauge your workouts, scale intelligently, and stop letting ego run your training If you've been consistent but not progressing — this episode is for you. 🎙️ Comeback Athlete Podcast is for former athletes who are done feeling like a shell of who they used to be. 📲 Follow on Instagram: @comeback_athlete 🌐 Work with Blake: comeback-athlete.com 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts: pod.link/1752557544

    Rewiring Chronic Pain: How the Baber Method Retrains Your Brain & Nervous System

    Chronic pain isn’t always a tissue problem. In many cases, the tissue has already healed… but the nervous system remains sensitized. In this episode, I sit down with physical therapist Jeremy Baber to discuss how chronic pain changes the brain, nervous system, and movement patterns — and how his Baber Method helps retrain the nervous system to restore normal function. This conversation will completely change how you think about pain, recovery, and performance. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Why chronic pain often persists long after tissues have healed  ✅ How the brain and nervous system control pain perception  ✅ What happens when your nervous system becomes sensitized  ✅ Why traditional stretching and strengthening sometimes fail  ✅ The connection between the motor cortex, sensory cortex, and movement  ✅ How the Neural Activation Screen helps retrain the brain  ✅ How wearable bio-frequency patches stimulate and calm the nervous system  ✅ Why chronic pain sufferers are often “wired differently”  ✅ How to retrain your nervous system and restore normal function  ✅ What this means for athletes, active adults, and anyone stuck in pain Chronic pain is not just physical — it is neurological. The Baber Method provides a brain-based approach to retraining the nervous system and restoring proper communication between the brain and body. If you’ve been dealing with pain for months or years despite doing everything right, this episode is for you. Subscribe for more episodes on performance, recovery, and becoming a Comeback Athlete.
