Exactly! If you’re truly doing high frequency then you’re thinking more about what you’re lifting tomorrow than what you’re actually lifting today - recovery is the no 1 priority. After decades of two maybe three workouts weekly, I got into daily or near daily lifting after reading Pavel and hearing the opinions of some very smart people on this forum. Everything stays so fresh when you turn up at the gym today to do what you did only yesterday or perhaps the day before - it was truly a lightbulb moment! I believe that PTTP over five days and Justa Singles No 1 over 7 days hit the sweet spot in terms of optimal volume and intensity - follow the program as written and you don’t overtrain. I’d add that even if you think you’re going to workout on five to seven days weekly, in reality you almost certainly won’t. And those additional rest days are gold - certainly not to be avoided.I think the reason many burnout with high frequency is that they treat the sessions as workouts as opposed to practice, which is often a problem with GTG.
