Hey all!
This Board is an awesome source of information. It has been great to learn from others' experiences and expertise. There is a vast number recommended training programs, nutritional programs, cycles, etc. across the threads. One of the challenges, however, is most of these are examples that have worked well for some, but were not effective for others. What it comes down to is being able to read your own body and maximize what works best for you.
Particularly with training programs, what tricks do you have for reading what works best for you? How do you determine that right balance for what is helping you push beyond your current limits without being counterproductive?
I know it's important to change up the training program when you hit plateaus, but for me I've always found my best gains to come with 2-3 days on and no more than 1 day off, regardless of the type of training program. Some will say that is not enough time for recovery...and maybe I'm reading the wrong things.
Thoughts?
