Summary

Elite sprinters don’t run sub-10s year-round, elite powerlifters aren’t always ready to total new personal bests, and physique athletes aren’t shredded in the offseason. Why is this? Are they doing something wrong the rest of the year, or are they doing something right when they’re at their peak performance?
