Anabolic Talks

Had a stretch where life was crazy and I kept adding more cardio because I thought I was getting soft. Turns out I was just exhausted. Once I chilled out and recovered, my strength started coming back.

A lot of good points here. I think the big thing is realizing recovery isn’t just what happens after you leave the gym. Sleep, food, stress, training volume all of it adds up. I’m definitely gonna pay more attention to that instead of automatically doing more whenever progress slows down.
