Their wordsyou could do something like take an anti-inflammatory whether this is a supplementation or a drug or maybe this is ice oh cool that's great that will enhance your recovery in this moment that'll make you feel better today probably tomorrow but what we know is that blocks the signal for adaptation so you're not going to get the same results you know four six eight weeks from now

Their wordsso most people think they're overtrained are really not you're just probably non-functionally overreached and again the classic distinction is if you took three or four days off and you felt better you weren't probably quote unquote overtrained you were probably just in this area of non-functional reaching you need a little bit of a back off

Their words10 minutes is probably better but if you can just at least give me three that'll work if you're really really resistant you can actually do that just in the shower and so if you're going to finish your workout get in the shower again just close your eyes in the shower give me three minutes of focused relaxation breathing and that will accelerate the recovery process
