I strongly suggest you take the time to read this article. It will help you understand WHY we train the way we do; why we recommend resting on "off" days, and eating carbohydrates post workout- no matter what time it is. I have said numerous time that optimizing your hormonal profile is optimal for body composition changes. A few things to note: -Olympic Lifts (push press, cleans, squats, deadlifts, Jump Squats, etc.) produce large testosterone elevations. - Lactic acid is a by product of muscular fatigue, causing Growth Hormone release (Good thing! aids in carbohydrate break down and fat loss) - Short rest periods, keep your hormones elevated for a higher and longer period of time, compared to longer rest periods. - Sleep is crucial to GH release, this is why we track our sleep on our food logs. - Carbohydrates post workout cause a high insulin response, shutting down cortisol(good!), reducing muscle breakdown and aiding in recovery. These are a few important notes to pay attention to and take note of while reading this article.
