Squat Every Day Thoughts on overtraining and recovery in strength training

"A MUST READ!" What if everything you ever learned about recovery from exercise was wrong? Common wisdom says you can only "hit" a body part once a week if you want results from your strength-training workouts. The bogeyman of "overtraining" waits around every corner, ready to strike down your gains. In Squat Every Day, author Matt Perryman digs into the origins of the overtraining myth. By looking into how advanced athletes really train and considering the science of exercise and recovery, a different story emerges. Bolstered by his own experiments with squatting to a "daily max" every day of the week, this book will show you that limitations aren't what you might think. You'll learn... * Why the "stress and recover" model of lifting weights makes you rest much more than you should... potentially costing you valuable strength gains * How to use the latest cutting-edge science of stress to maximize your recovery time in and out of the gym. * The three things that you're probably doing wrong when you try to get stronger, without even realizing it... and the simple, almost effortless change that you can make right now to fix it.
