We'll actually also look at um probably a couple of things you're familiar with A LT and A ST . Um These are excellent bio markers of muscle breakdown . So if we are actually suspecting that this is a chronic problem , um we're gonna actually go enemy and pull some blood .
So when muscle gets broken down that gets leaked out and put in your blood , that's one of the markers actually , that's gonna be associated with things like rhabdo , which is uh like you , you're gonna see your urine is purple , it's extremely dark because you got so much muscle breakdown that that happens and kidneys gonna have a problem and you put a bunch of stuff in there . So we use those bile markers . We'll actually also look at um probably a couple of things you're familiar with A LT and A ST .
Um because the vast majority of that's gonna be in muscle . So um those are actually some markers that we like a lot . If muscle damage is uh the thing we're concerned with , if we are more concerned with things like total training volume , systemic overload , then we may turn to something more like sleep .
Now , zooming out to systemic , we use a whole host of things . So we actually have AAA whole host of bowel markers . We use , you can get a lot of these from blood so you can look at things like creatine kinase .
There's a lot of information we can actually get glain from changes in sleep , um behavior and function . Um You could also look at things like hr V heart rate variability , which is a very classic marker and much more sensitive to changes with training than something like a resting heart rate . Um which is , which is one thing you can actually do that's totally cost free .
