Calvert and Milo Barbell

My recovery is not dialed in at all.

I think I’m past the illness of the last few weeks, so recent feelings of tiredness, exhaustion, lack of focus are probably related to training. I didn’t think I made a huge jump in volume from where I was. However, it could be the reintroduction of heavier pulls, or the two grindy sessions last week.

I haven’t really wrapped my head around these ideas, but the “stimulus-to-fatigue ratio” of going so close to failure may not have been the right decision. On the other hand, the amount of volume near failure potentially was a good hypertrophy stimulus. I dunno, I don’t have a PhD in Exercise Science.

Had an interesting discussion about this stuff, but no actionable takeaways:

What I do know is that I’ve been very tired.
