The fastest path to getting cut is being
on the cutting edge of research.
After all, we all want to gain the most muscle
in the least amount of time and log more miles with less effort, right? These
five studies, released over the past month or two, will help you sweat
smarter and still make serious gains in the gym.
1# CrossFitters, Stop Skipping Recovery:
Your WODs sometimes need to be WEODs
"(workout every other day's)"
A new study in frontiers in physiology looked at seasoned crossfitters who took on two consecutive days of high intensity workouts for time a typical 48 hours, in other words. The findings : Participants had reduced levels of anti inflammatory cytokines, proteins produced by white blood cells that help dampen inflammation.
That means the back to back workouts were actually suppressing normal immune function.
Don’t worry, we’re not suggesting you scale back to every other day all the time.
But the researchers do suggest CrossFitters take a rest day after two consecutive WODs, especially if they’re just getting over being sick.
