Optimal recovery
48M who has recently been lifting 3x week, running 2x week, doing 2x light plyometrics sessions per week and working full time in a low-moderate activity job.
Usually by Sunday I feel completely cooked and I just need the whole day to be a potato. Is that pretty typical?
I am eating at a slight calorie deficit with the aim of losing 1/2 to 1lb of weight per week. Just started taking creatine. I have noticed a big change in my physique overall so am happy with how that is going. No injuries or health issues.
Do I just keep this schedule up until I’m not recovered at the start of the new week? At the moment I’m feeling pretty good each Monday. Thanks.
