For a long time, I thought that more training would automatically mean better results.
But, some of my best progress has come from training just 3 times per week!
Not because 3 sessions is some magic number, but because it was the amount of training I could consistently recover from. I had enough energy to train hard, recover well, and show up again the following week ready to progress.
Everyone is different. Your ideal training dose will depend on your recovery capacity, stress levels, sleep, nutrition, training history, and what season of life you're currently in.
What works brilliantly for one person may leave another burnt out and struggling to recover. Remember, the goal isn't to do as much as possible. The goal is to do enough to make progress while allowing your body the opportunity to adapt.
Because out-training what you can recover from doesn't lead to endless progress. Eventually, it leads to regression.
Find the dose that works for you. One that challenges you, supports your goals, and fits into your life long term.
Have you found the amount of training that helps you feel and perform at your best?
