Recovery Before Progression
Effective training requires thorough recovery of the cardiovascular system, neural strength, and synergist muscles to prevent limiting factors from hindering progress. Before engaging in new sets, ensure that support muscles are fully recovered; otherwise, they will cap the performance of the main target muscle, leading to suboptimal outcomes. It's crucial that the target muscle not only feels ready but has sufficient stamina to execute at least five repetitions, as sets with fewer than five can be less efficient for hypertrophy. Prioritize overall readiness, including the well-being of synergist muscles, to maximize training efficacy.
