Have you ever noticed that fitness influencers burn out?
A few seasons of shows and then…
They move to yoga.
Or showing you behind the scenes of what’s so wrong with “The Industry.”
Only…
They burnt out for a reason.
The reason?
It’s the same reason the next wave will burn out.
It’s the same reason you're burning yourself out.
It’s also been really well-studied.
It’s what you, they, we, are doing:
Training…
Too hard.
Too often.
Too many times.
No time for rest.
When in fact, rest is the MOST important variable in training programs.
In a study done by Schoenfeld et al, they found out that “longer rest periods promote greater increases in muscle strength and hypertrophy” than shorter rest periods. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26605807/)
They assigned 21 experienced lifters to either a group that performed.
Resistance training with short rest intervals or
with long rest intervals.
Where all other variables are held constant.
And the results?
Those with the long rest period have gotten stronger and have thicker muscles compared to short.
So what does that mean for you?
If you want to get stronger,
If you want better conditioning,
If you need more work capacity so that you can train harder for longer,
If you want target specific muscle fibers to that you can maximise your potential,
If you want less body fat and more muscle,
If you want ELITE body composition…
Honour rest.
As much as you honour your high standards.
So if you aren’t resting?
You actually AREN’T training properly.
You’re only leaving a whole heap of your gains on the table.
Are you ready for an elite transformation?
