Good recovery method

[john11]

To the issue of recovery and training everyday:
For the first exercise i am only doing 10 press ups,
anyone can do 10 press ups without a struggle,
i doubt there is anything to recover from with this exercise. The same goes for the rest of the exercises, all performed with warm up type weights, light easy movements.
Do you still think it is bad idea? I am hoping these light movements may increase blood supply to the muscle and aid recovery.There s not enough of a weight there to damage muscle fibers or stress the cns.

Do yourself a favor and get a good coach to help you out and stop wasting your time with this bullshit.

I concur

I'd get a coach. You're clearly doing something seriously wrong. I work my back four times a week and don't end up overtraining.

Either you're putting Ronnie Coleman to shame with your workouys, or you aren't resting enough or eating right.

Something is off. Working out once every two weeks is absurd.

Right! Know your body. What works for one person doesn't work for everyone sometimes we need more rest and sometimes we can train till failure day after day. But one simple fact remains... If you ain't training your ads off consistently and eating like a mofo, you ain't ever going to be shit!!! Hard work all day long baby! I know dude's who teain 6 hours a day and lpok like fucking Mac trucks!!!

I'm a big fan of Menno Henselmans. If you don't know him he does meta studies. (He takes multiple studies on a topic breaks them down, looks at biases, inconsistencies and accuracies)
His course has some great info. Here's a link that talks about CNS fatigue from his site. IF you don't want to read it but just want the conclusion...not a lot of actual evidence to support cns-f.

To me, it sounds like there is too much time between workouts and your not adapting at all. You're stuck suffering from beginners doms. Active recovery methods will help sure, but my suggestion would be to start over. Go lighter. Work out with introductory weights for a couple of weeks. Full body workouts 2-3 times week. Then start adding weight.

Great read and answers several of the questions I was wondering.

Kind of sounds like the issue isn't so much poor recovery as poor programming.

Are you rocking some bullshit muscle mag split with the idea that you're going to make linear progress week to week?

Not being facetious or mean, no idea how long you've been at it or how deep you dive into programming for yourself.

Would you be open to trying a new, and I assume, probably very different program?

 

[john11]

Yes, i would be very much interested.

What i would like is a program that lets me do a little cardio as well, i feel like a more all-round athlete if i could mix that in

Thanks.

Can do.

Crazy work day, then gym on like zero sleep today. But I've actually got something put together for a couple people I'm working with at the moment. It fits the bill.

Hang tight and I'll hit you with it later on tonight.
