Not Recovering Enough
.
Follow @roballenfitness for more fitness/nutrition info
.
What is “enough” - no, this is not an existential question that people have been trying to figure out for centuries. It is, however related to a person’s capacity to recover and the amount of training they actually do.
.
A professional athlete trains like a professional athlete. Lots of training, lots of sleep, lots of good food and lots of therapeutic activities. An average person who starts training like a pro but falls short on the recovery part, is doomed to fail
.
Over training is a term that gets thrown around a lot. What it is, is simply too much training and not enough recovery
.
Other problems can arise from a lack of recovery like hormonal issues and injuries etc. Your body needs time to adapt and get stronger.
.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, take a look at your training volume compared to the amount of time you sleep and how much you eat. You don’t want to be putting in all of that work for nothing!
.
Let me know if you have any questions

Autoregulatory training (aka: instinctive training).
.
.
Taking a more flexible approach to your workouts over the course of a week can be extremely beneficial for overall performance and progress in the gym
.
Lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, illness, or working a rotating roster♀️ all play a toll on our body and performance ‘flexible training’ is something that I utalise to get the most out of my workouts and combat #overtraining
.
.
Whatever training program you're doing, you need to be able to adapt and respond to it♻️ That's what autoregulation is all about♀️
.
.
.
Here’s a few strategies I use⤵️ .
.
✅ The +2/-2 method:
I add or remove two reps from my workout plan depending on how I’m feeling on that day. If I feel good I go harder, if not then I back off. Quality over quantity always!
.
✅ De-load during stressful periods or night duty (every 4-6 weeks):
When I see my week of #nightduty coming up on my roster, I know it’s almost time to taper down my intensity/volume to promote recovery My body is already under enough physical stress just by having disturbed sleep and circadian rhythms... adding on #intense workouts is only going to be counterproductive in the long run✋I also don’t hesitate skipping the gym a together if I don’t sleep well during the day.
.
✅ Scheduling intense sessions:
For my heavy #legdays my first exercise is always a strength-based heavy compound lift (squat/deadlift/thrust) I much prefer to do these heavy sessions early in the week, or on my days off... which can change week by week! For this reason, I don’t assign particular training days. Sure it would be nice to have a #workout routine! But that’s just not realistic for me, I just go by how I feel on that particular week/day instead
.
.
DISCLAIMER⚠️This style of #training isn’t an excuse to slack off☝️ It’s a chance to train SMARTER, listen to your body, and to push as HARD as you can WHEN you can

⚠️ This post is for Natural Athletes:
If you consume steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs, this topic is not relevant for you, because you won't overreach anyway, because your recovery is always at MAX.⚠️ .
Overreaching is a training period in which the body is exposed to massive training stress.
If this period is ignored in the long run or if the training volume is simply increased further, Overtraining occurs. Overtraining is not beneficial for us Naturals and should always be avoided.
However, Overreaching has enormous advantages if you use it wisely and insert a Deload afterwards:
.
STRESS RESISTANCE: Your central nervous system is stressed by the tons of weight you move over time and is massively overreached.
To reset this condition again, the Deload week will be done and in this time your central nervous system will completely regenerate and build up new neurological capacities to prepare for the next overload.
Increased stress resistance has massive benefits for people who are very active and work a lot.
The body becomes more resistant and copes better with stress. .
WORK CAPACITY: Due to overload, the body also tolerates more volume over time. That's why advanced athletes tolerate more volume than beginners.
.
IMMUNE SYSTEM: Sports and especially weight training is stress for the body.
If stress prevails in the body, the immune system is more at work. If you insert a Deload week after Overreaching you give the immune system time to recover and thus activate new capacities.
The performance of the immune system increases and can therefore work more efficiently and agile to fend off pathogens.
.
So Overreaching has a lot of advantages if you use it correctly and understand that MORE IS NOT MORE.
MORE is ONLY to a certain point MORE and if this point is exceeded the athlete has rather disadvantages.
What I recommend:
Week1: Intro Week
Week2: Accumulation
Week3. Accumulation
Week4: Overreaching.
Week5: Deload
Repeat♻️
.
Those who regularly do Deloads give the complete system time to recover from all the stress.
Muscles, tendons, ligaments, CNS, immune systems, etc. will return stronger than before and new capacities will be built.
I see a lot of athletes overtraining and ignoring the signs! Tuff is cool until your training makes you weaker! In this post I cover some signs of overtraining, how this can be confusing and give a few tips on prevention! share the knowledge! #overtraining #rehab #prehab #strengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioningcoach #coach #strengthcoach #athletictraining #personaltrainer
Last week’s discussion on over-exercising was so juicy, it inspired a whole episode of my podcast!
•
In episode 2 I talk about why the standard Diet Culture advice of “eat less, move more” is actually really harmful and leads to overexercising and it’s associated risks. I also share your stories about overexercising and answer your questions about warning signs, learning to connect to your body, and dealing with hypothalamic amenorrhea.

6️⃣ by @tommaccormick -
1️⃣ You don’t have a plan or clearly defined goals. How can you expect to achieve anything g without these?
2️⃣ Training like a pussy. You probably think this doesn’t apply to you, but stop for a minute and ask yourself if you are really working hard enough in the gym. Be honest with yourself!
3️⃣ Not eating enough. It should be obvious. If you're not gaining weight then you're not gaining muscle. Eat enough to gain 0.25-0.5% of your bodyweight per week. -
4️⃣ Blaming your genetics. What’s the point? You can’t change them!
-
5️⃣ Not getting stronger. Getting a pump feels great and makes you look better for a few minutes, however, it is not where you should focus your efforts. Instead make it a priority to get stronger in the 6-12 rep range. -
6️⃣ RECOVERY IS CRUCIAL! You do not get bigger lifting weights. You get bigger by recovering from lifting weights. To maximise recovery sleep 8+hrs a night, eat a calorie surplus, and have planned rest days. -
