The very very last thing that I add in and sometimes it can be a good 12 - 15 weeks before I add in this component is chronic competitive motion where it's okay, we're actually going out to go on a bike ride or swim or run or something that is metabolic conditioning roadwork because that's the stuff in someone that is overtrained who often times has their parasympathetic nervous system really really beat up you know, if you test their heart rate variability, the number called there high frequency is really really consistently
low you know usually because there are triathletes or marathoners that's more often I'm dealing with those people with adrenal fatigue than I am with like a cross fitter who's kind of an opposite sympathetic nervous system fatigue issue but with those parasympathetic nervous fatigue, the last thing we add back in is the swimming and the biking and the running because it's important to realize that when you're trying to recover from adrenal fatigue or overtraining, even if you're doing like an easy swim or an easy bike ride or an easy run, if you're a triathlete or a marathoner or a swimmer or a cyclist, those easy
sessions send a message to your
body that you're
training, that you're running from a lion and you still get that hormonal depletion and it's so easy for you to just turn into a depletion
session and so that's the very very last thing that I'll add back in so that's kinda like the crow's eye view of you know, the type of things that I'll implement in a program for overtraining recovery, you know and you know, this is something that people hire me to walk them through.

body part should be
trained ONCE a week — this gives plenty of time to recover before the next
training session — and I recommend
training the full -
body, regardless if using the two or three day split, because working the full
body produces more anabolic hormone than just doing the upper or
lower body alone, recruits more motor units than working the upper or
lower body alone, and the more motor units recruited per
session, the greater the increase in neural activity, which will
train the
body to work more effectively as a whole, and therefore aid in better fat loss.
