So what are some tools that we can use to enhance our recovery ? Yeah , let's start off with that acute overload phase . So in other words , I just did a workout and I'm feeling awful or I just did 12 days ago and I'm super sore .
I strongly suggest you start this recovery process immediately after the workout . You mentioned earlier about this idea of you gotta get a really high peak of stress to cause that ation , but I actually didn't explain that correctly because what has to happen is you need that extremely high peak , but you then you have to be met with an extremely sharp recovery back down . And so , you know , you've talked about this before and some of your um neuroplasticity stuff and in terms of what has to happen , that cause the insult and then you immediately need to be able to recover to make sure that that causes changes in the brain .
Same thing happens here . So we need a really sharp and high inflammatory response And then if you do not need it with an immediate recovery period , the signal won't be there to maximize your results . So what's that mean ?
Both of those produce very significant uh decreases in resting heart rate . The over time will increase things like heart rate , variability and so on . And so forth .
And I guess I should say it this way . I strongly suggest you start this recovery process immediately after the workout . You mentioned earlier about this idea of you gotta get a really high peak of stress to cause that ation , but I actually didn't explain that correctly because what has to happen is you need that extremely high peak , but you then you have to be met with an extremely sharp recovery back down .
