Nah, man. If you're rolling, keep it rolling!
word. most people respond better to high freq shit. and vag, its not like ur playing 2hrs of a sport. everything u do is vert focused so ur programming is perfect right now
x2
Hmmm... 3/3 , and from 3 different training personalities... OK guys , ill keep it up!
On a sidenote :
My natural approach would be to train every day all day. I hate rest days , and i feel the eager to go out and run or lift or jump every single day. My work capacity is also very good , or maybe insane:
Back in the day , when i was ~25 i would work out 4 times a week doing this:
- 4km run or 45 mins aerobics
- Weights , 5 excercises 4x8 fashion
- 500 reps core ( abs+low back )
- 1km swimming
Workouts lasted ~3hours, LOL.
And i was fresh at each workout , did this shit for ~2 years!!!
But those joints and muscles get rusty , they get tired more easy and they need more time to recover . Its hard to explain it , you can only feel it...
Its a need now to have in mind/plan recovery too...
I actually have an article planned and that is one of the topics.. our mindsets on training growing up in our developmental years through adulthood has a huge impact on how we have become as athletes.. those marathon session just aren't good for power, and people like you and I just can't "rest" we have to train so hard, day in day out, or we don't "feel complete" or "feel like we've done enough".. that mindset is great for conditioning, endurance, etc, but not for power..
so it's funny how our mentalities shaped our training process which shaped the way our bodies produce force

peace!
