Rest Day

"Much of the talk about recuperative
techniques centers on avoiding or
curtailing “overtraining”. It is my
considered opinion that overtraining
is indicated by retrograde
performance and specifically does
not include symptoms mitigated or
alleviated by additional sleep, fluids,
massage, or pampering alone."

does everyone do 3 days on, 3 days off? are there advantages to that schedule compared to others?

i still wanted to get something active in today, so i tried this:

15 rounds

KB Swing 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off

not incredibly hard, but challenging.

3 days on 1 day off. Coach Glassman explains it all in several CF Journal articles and videos. Their case studies have led them to believe this is the optimal schedule.
