How Long to Train Before Taking a Rest Week?

That’s interesting. Personally I have no found this to be true. I was forced to move toward low-threshold/long TUT/lactate work when training for my previous photoshoot and I was able to progress. But that’s me.

In theory high threshold work should make other types of training more effective by increase the efficacy of the CNS to recruit muscle fibers. If the opposite happens it could be from an accumulation of scar tissues in the muscles, reducing contractability, chronic inflamation reducing nervous conduction or maybe even nerve damage.
