Soak up your Rest Day, little Savages, you earned it.Now that we are on a nice little posting schedule around here (thanks to everyone for the help in posting scores) I can get back into the habit of providing articles and resources on Rest Days. There is some truly fascinating science and theory behind all the things we do in our efforts to attain the next level of elite human performance. Below is an article by Dr. Thomas C. Neylan on the topic of "General Adaptation Syndrome" and the man behind it's original inception: Hans Selye. Hans Selye's actual experiment with rats starts in the second column, and that should be some truly thought provoking content. I hope everyone likes the article as it should provide some insight into why we use intensity and then recovery to repeatedly reap exponential rates of improvement in performance.
Post your thoughts, questions, or requests for further resources in the comments section.
Hans Selye & General Adaptation Syndrome

It feels great to be back in the Stable, I definitely missed the daily metabolic slug-fest our athlete's endure. The extra days of rest over the weekend were perfectly timed, everyone came back and attacked the SDHP x Ring Dip met con at a new level of intensity.
