Recovery, Rest, your Central Nervous System and lack of gains.
Resting is hard which makes recovery next to impossible. I am a workhorse. I always have been. If I have 5 spare minutes- I’m fixing a broken handle, doing laundry, sending an email or umm… writing a blog. Ahem. The same logic applies in the gym. It only works for me to take 4 minute breaks between sets because I own the place. You’ll see me spotting another lifter, making coffee or cleaning up. But how does my lack of rest or “time-off” affect my central nervous system, recovery and thus, even more importantly, my gains? Glad you didn’t ask....
