Hello Everybody,

What do you do when you have tons of energy and will to exercise but you've already done all of your planned days. For example, I'm on the rite of passage and have already knocked out my 3 pressing days and my 2 variety days. I really want to exercise right now but I don't want to violate the program.

Maybe I'm just too excited.

Any advice or tips?

Thank You, Epictetus
 
I would identify activities that dont overlap with your training and dont take much recovery resources. For instance, I would avoid doing tons of push ups during ROP.

You could do cardio at very slow pace. Or you could try to achieve the splits. Stretching with a specific goal is a good alternative in your case I think.
 
I will usually go for one or two long walks when amped and need to burn off the extra energy. Trails are great for seeing new things and the scenery usually brings me down a notch or two. Walking my neighborhood is great as well. I'm burning some calories while getting rid of the amped feeling without taking away from recovery.
 
Getups. Feels like a few getups on rest day never interfere with any program.
