Today is #StressAwarenessDay Stress is a normal part of life. A little bit of stress is healthy but too much stress has a lot of negative effects. - Training is a form of physical stress that is necessary to get stronger. Our bodies have the ability to recover from stress but this ability is limited. - The process of getting stronger has 3 phases: Stress=>Recovery=>Adaptation (SRA) - As strength athletes, if we overtrain and/or under recover for an extended period of time, we will not get stronger. - Training is not the only stressor in our lives. Stress from all sources adds up. This means that if you have a stressful life outside the gym, your training and recovery will be negatively affected. - Stress management tips ✅Train Smart. Your training program or your Coach should keep your training volume between your Minimum Effective Dose and the Maximum Recoverable Volume (MRV) most of the time. ✅Get enough sleep. Sleep is one of the best ways of improving recovery ✅Reduce caffeine intake. Caffeine and other stimulants can increase stress, make it easier to overtrain and affect sleep. ✅Try meditation ✅Nutrition: Eat enough calories to support your training. A caloric deficit will increase stress and decrease recovery ✅Supplements: Try supplements such as Ashwagandha(KSM-66), Magnesium and Melatonin. ✅Reduce overall lifestyle stress. - Check out my complete article with video at underdogstrength.com/stress-management-strength-training (Link in bio) - Share this with someone who is stressed out all the time! 😀 . . . . . #nationalstressawarenessday #stressawarenessmonth #stressawareness #stressmanagement #managestress #stressrecoveryadaptation #strengthtrainingforwomen #strengthtrainingforrunners #startingstrength #stressreduction #dontstressit #fitness #powerlifting #fatlosscoach #underdogstrength #nri #mrv #maximumrecoverablevolume #trainingvolume #highvolumetraining #ashwagandha #strengthgains #strengthgoals #toomuchstress #bayareafitness #indianfitness #fitindian #gymtips (at Mountain View, California)
