Plan👉 freestyle 👉 track. We always go into the gym with a plan. Within that plan we leave room for some free-styling, calling audibles, following intuition instead of staying married to the original plan. Then we track in order to stay organized and allow for true progression.

If you spiked your workload by 100% and got injured your takeaway would likely be “I did TOO MUCH”. In reality you just did “TOO MUCH, TOO SOON”. Humans can handle pretty large workloads without getting injured as long as you gradually work up to it.
If you played 2 hours of basketball this week and next week you go play 4 hours, that’s a workload spike of 100%.
The research suggests that overuse injuries really start to rise when workload is spiked by 30% or more. To play it safe aim for no more than 10% per week.
Once you accept that 99% of recovery methods don’t actually work you’ll start to realize the key to recovery is proper programming and avoiding large workload spikes. Train hard without overtraining, don’t spike workload more than 10% per week, sleep 8+ hrs, eat lots of real food
