We all know people who think they can continue to grow and continue to make gains indefinitely by simply pushing harder and harder in their training day in and day out.
But what always happens to them?
Injury, burn out, sickness, stagnation.
Then what?
Well, once they get back on their feet they start the same cycle all over again.
Why?
Because maybe, just maybe they weren’t pushing hard enough or using enough brute force last time to succeed and this time will be different.
Riiigghhht… How about this instead?
Train Smarter AND Harder.
Bring the intensity every workout, yes. Push the limits, hell yes. Keep moving forward, always. But not always in a straight line.
What do I mean?
Training smarter involves the usage of planned back-off workouts and deload weeks which, in effect, allow the body to take a step back in order to spring forward again with greater energy and intensity.
Additionally, it is of paramount importance to have a properly structured strategy in place for recovery and restoration.
Continued progression and development demands it. Without a recovery strategy, the gains in fitness slow, plateaus are hit and NOT overcome, injuries occur, and as we said earlier, progress sputters to a screeching halt.
