But that does not diminish the role that mental fortitude, motivation, and self-esteem play. The point being is that deloading is a scientifically backed, holistic mind and body tool that is critically important in weight lifting. In short, we're both right. | |
| Nov 4, 2014 at 20:18 | comment | added | Eric | not that I disagree with you really, but I think still think the root is (usually) over training and/or insufficient recovery. At least for me in my life I end up missing training enough to do life that I rarely need to purposefully build in off-days or off-weeks. They happen despite my best intentions. | |
