The High/Low Method is a great way to maximize readiness and improve energy levels in the gym.
📊 It involves alternating between high and low stress training sessions.
For resistance training power or dynamic effort training sessions tend to be the least fatiguing.
🏋🏽♂️ They require high readiness to be effective, but don’t cause a lot of fatigue since there is little velocity loss and you are not close to failure.
By contrast, hypertrophy sessions with heavy loads taken closer to failure create more lasting fatigue.
📚 For conditioning, threshold and interval sessions tend to be more fatiguing.
Basically, more time spent above the lactate threshold, more fatigue.
🏃🏽♂️ By contrast zone 2 aerobic sessions typically involve low fatigue.
Alternating between high and low stress training sessions can be a great way to manage fatigue and perform well for your important sessions. Full video on this for YT is in the works.
🤔 Have you tried the high/low approach?
