There's a fair few things that go into how well you're recover from session to session.
I could keep it simple and say, sleep quality, diet, hydration and life stress all play roles.
Or I could get into the science and tell you how RFD recovers slower than force output so while you might be recovered to produce force, you may not be recovered to produce it fast.
And there's many other things I could touch on too, muscle glycogen and electrolyte replenishment, exercise selection and ex*****on, training age, hard sets.
All will have an effect on your ability to recover from session to session, so while it's worth getting the variables in line, you don't need science to tell you if your training is working and it's best to keep the proxy simple.
And thats what the graphic is about.
I know it's not a fancy reel that I've spent hours on to keep hold of your attention, but training is complex enough and finding the simplicity is often the best way to go.
If you're struggling to gain strength and make the progress you want and need help getting your training in order, you know where I am.
And all it takes is a DM.
