How come more isn’t always better in fitness and training?
I've been doing a lot of weight training over the past few years and have developed quite a bit. Lately, though, I’ve been feeling really tired and thought it might be time to slow things down a bit in all areas of my life — including training. That’s why I figured the MAPS 15 Advanced program could be a good fit. That said, I’m so used to training intensely 5–6 times a week for at least an hour each session that I can’t help but worry I’ll lose my gains. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think I should add a bit more volume?
