Best Way To Build Work Capacity Without Burning Out?

Progress like you would with any lift add a little more each week. Work capacity is just another thing you can build slowly.

Volume day once a week sounds doable. I’ve been trying to do too much every session, probably why I crash early.

Do one “higher volume” day per week. You’ll adapt without burning out from doing it every session.

Don’t underestimate sleep and carbs. Most people gas out because they’re under-fueled, not unfit.

EMOMs scare me a bit but maybe that’s exactly what I need. Might start with something easy.

EMOMs with light weights are killer for conditioning. Just once a week is enough to see improvement.

Honestly, walking on an incline for 15–20 mins a few times a week boosted my training endurance more than anything.

Try doing your warm-ups faster. Same weight, shorter breaks. It builds capacity without touching your working sets.

Yeah supersets might be a good idea. I need something that builds capacity without making the main lifts suffer.

Supersets with accessories helped me a ton. Not crazy weights—just enough to keep the heart rate up.
