Incase you missed it, Day 9: When to Retest
Recovery Days
When You Should Take A Recovery Day
All the questions below are on a scale of 1 to 5, one being low and five beings high
- How muscularly sore are you?
- How hard have you been training for the last few weeks?
- How do you feel?
- How was your sleep quality?
If you find yourself answering the first two questions with 5’s and the second two questions with 1’s, you will want to take a recovery day.
If you find yourself in the middle (mostly 3’s), you should be fine to train as expected or take a set off of each exercise.
