Here’s a training-recovery quote from former pro bodybuilder Scott Wilson…
Every 3 months I would take a 2-week layoff. Each time I got back into the gym, my minor injuries would be healed, my enthusiasm for my workouts would be higher than ever, and I’d begin making excellent gains right away.
Some people have said that if you need a layoff from your training, you’re doing it wrong. I disagree…
Intense stress can be cumulative, something early 20th-century endocrinologist Hans Selye discovered. He outlined these three stages of stress…
Alarm, Resistance, Exhaustion
Alarm is when your body rallies to combat the stress; Resistance is when you adapt (grow); Exhaustion is when your body is overcome by the stressor (overtraining)…
Periodic scheduled layoffs can help you heal from the Exhaustion phase or even avoid it so that growth stays on an upward trajectory.
If you can steer clear of overtraining, you make your workouts much more efficient and productive over time.
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
