#11 Programming For Strength Plateaus, Neurobiological Mechanisms of Overreaching vs. Overtraining

The Fitness Experiment

This is a fun one that we're sure you guys will love. We dissect the thought process and techniques behind programming for strength plateaus. Jesse gives specifics on how and when certain tempos, rep schemes, and combination of movements fit into a long term program. We differentiate between overreaching and overtraining. One being a sense of "burn out" that is necessary for beneficial adaptations to training, the other an extreme sense of burn out that poses the risk of injury, decline in performance, and long term health risks. We talk about the specific neurobiological mechanism behind overtraining - when fitness becomes detrimental to health - including the Glycogen hypothesis, Central Fatigue theories, glutamine hypothesis, oxidative stress, autonomic nervous system functioning, hypothalamic circuits, cytokines and neuroinflammation and more!
