#198 Microdosing Workouts: The Smarter Way To Train For Strength, Speed & Performance

Welcome back to another episode of the Iron Sights Podcast! In this one, I’m joined by Ryan and CeCe in the studio for a deep dive into a hot topic that’s been coming up more and more in elite performance circles—microdosing your workouts.

We break down what microdosing your training actually means, where the concept came from, and how to structure it. We talk about who it’s best for, who it might not be for, and how this approach can help busy individuals juggle strength, hypertrophy, speed, power, and conditioning—all without burning out. If you’re someone trying to do it all in limited time or just looking for smarter programming strategies, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Let’s cut through the confusion and explore how to train more effectively with less.
