Importance of Availability in Strength Training

Staying healthy is crucial for consistent gains in high-performance sports, reinforcing the idea that availability is the best ability. Training when injured prevents progress, making injury prevention a vital component of a successful lifting program. Achieving and maintaining optimal health allows athletes to be in the gym regularly, taking advantage of every training opportunity. Consequently, prioritizing recovery and injury prevention can lead to significant long-term benefits in strength and performance.
