FLTLT Luke Poli

What sort of training regime are you following?
Technique training, heavy weight training, speed/ endurance work.

I do all my own strength and conditioning work, but I have a coach for my technique. Well he tries to get me to execute the movement better.

What sort of diet do you follow?
Diet? What’s that? I am on a very self-specific diet. It changes from day to day depending on the training I have done that day.

Are you required to make many sacrifices to keep in shape?
Definitely, mainly the time to do the training, but I think it is time well spent because many people go through life without any goals, direction or
interests outside of work.

I think dedicating myself to the training enhances these other aspects of my
life.

It enables me to more appreciate the time I have by making me focus on the important things.
