recovery

I am a novice cyclist and plan to use the fall and winter to build up my aerobic base with a very simple plan. I live in a hilly area and want to maintain some hill power for spring. I was reading up on Antiglycolytic training. An idea came to me that I could cycle on my training stand and do...

Hey guys...3rd week running the AXE Protocol with H2H swings. Settled on the 48kg for sets of 4 up to 30 rounds and I am training only the AXE Swings 3x/ week. I coach full time so, this is working well for me on its own. 2 things I have noticed and would like to know if anyone else is...

Os and I just did a really fun podcast that I think the SF community would be interested in. Here is the Spotify Podcast link, and here is the Apple Podcast link. Makes me want to do more fitness focused podcast :) Let me know your thoughts.

I had my left labrem repaired back in May, I have torn in multiple times over the past three years, I just finished physical therapy and I'm back to hitting the gym. I've noticed a few things thanks to my physical therapist, I tend to over extend my shoulders when I swing the kettlebell or do...

Not that hard-living type you probably expect - let me provide some background. I live in a rural area, so there is a lot of manual work to do during late spring, summer and early autumn, even without my ambitious quest. Moreover, I am going to build a house for me and my growing family. In...

Hello! I have been lurking in this forum for quite a while and read many helpful threads. I've finally worked up the courage to ask my own question. I've been following S&S mostly consistently for quite a while (two years), and would like to reach timed simple before moving to something more...

I've been having a hard time with sleep recently. What tips, tricks, secrets and strategies would you fine gentlefolk recommend for when quality sleep is hard to come by?

Hi everyone, I have a question about the training modalities according to my own "genetic" heritage. I read a lot about A&A and alactic training. In high school, I was a sprinter and I trained a lot with long rest between sprints. So those protocols are not really new for me. Since I was a...

Hi Team, There is a part of my brain that is slow to learn... I've had a history of burning myself out and while I haven't had an official diagnosis, the signs strongly indicate that I have adrenal fatigue issues. I love moving and training but I have a very limited capacity for recovery even...

I’m looking for assistance with KBM recovery day planning. I just finished week three with 24s. The practices have been mild to moderate and I’m rarely sore or worn out afterward. I’m sticking to the Rx and have scheduled active recovery days between and IT’S KILLING ME! Getting up at 0500 to go...

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any experience using these purely as a means for assessing recovery and readiness for a session? I know they're not overly expensive, but wanted some thoughts from people who may have used them in the past to see whether or not they're worth buying. Thanks.

Been grokking diy post-workout recovery shakes, and it seems that whey protein and dextrose are the order of the day. If I understand correctly, the dextrose helps shuttle protein and nutrients to your muscles' cells, and drinking such a concoction within 20 minutes of completing a workout will...

Hi Guys, It was stated in PTTP that high frequency is more important than high volume in strength training. Right now I am doing SS Linear Progression and I feel I am doing more progress than on PTTP cycles before. I don't understand why I progress faster doing on av. 1,5 sessions per week than...

I hope no one minds if I ask. What exercise would you people recommend to a person who's recently had an inflammation of the knee? It was supposed to be inflammed only on the "outside" and it was caused most likely by (according to what I was told by the doctor) constant pressure on the left...
