The body has a limited ability to recover from stress. If inadequate time is permitted for the body to recover the body cannot make a positive adaptation. This is especially true with weight lifting. Most people will show improvements from weight lifting program the first few months of training. Eventually the gains become much smaller or they stop improving altogether. It is at this point that the demands place on the body have become greater that the body’s ability to recover. In an attempt to keep progressing many place even greater demands on the system to get beyond the “plateau”. It is at this point that lifting becomes drudgery and injuries occur. Many eventually stop exercising when the results are not forthcoming.
