There's been a fair bit of buzz around neurotyping lately and with good reason.
We train because we want to get better.
This means that there needs to be literal transfer of how and what we train, into competition performance.
This means that training needs to specific to what type of athlete we are to get as much transfer as possible.
This is where neurotyping comes in.
I probably have 5+ pages of neurotyping stuff in my files but I'll keep this extremely brief to just get you thinking about it.
- Determine your neurotransmitter type and train in accordance with it
- Dopamine types are relate to energy, getting things done, are intensity hounds, need to watch how often they train
- Acetylcholine types are related to creativity, will respond better to more variations in training load, will also do better with more discovery based training
- Gaba types are related to consistency and loyalty, can sustain greater training loads for extended periods of time
- Serotonin types are your chillaxing types who love to just sit back and enjoy doing nothing
- You can determine your neurotransmitter type by taking the Braverman Test.
