Hello Friends! This is Dave speaking :)

I've had multiple conversations with clients about training gains that were worrisome to me and I wanted to clear up one common misconception.  The body builds and destroys itself as a result of training.  The acute response to training is a CATABOLIC body process, this is the breakdown of bodily tissue and fuel.  The long-term effects are ANABOLIC in nature. These ANABOLIC processes are responsible for rebuilding and performance gains.  These processes are most active in a well-slept, well-fed, de-stressed body.  This is especially true if your primary training goal is weight-loss.  Below is a link to a study that explains this concept in more detail.

Rest is therefore a required component to any training schedule.  TRAIN hard. REST hard. EAT healthy.
