The theory is very basic. First overload the system with systemic intensity, strength , volume training to the point of extreme fatigue. Then rest, during this rest period the body will not only adapt to the previous period of stress, but shall build itself up to new level. This theory only seems to work with a Supersized Mc Donald’s diet. Eat a lot go to sleep, play XBox all of a sudden you are also Supersized. divWhile it is true that your body will adapt to various stresses applied. Yes, it actually adapts specifically to specific stresses applied. That is why specificity is so important. The body adapts right down to a cellular, biochemical level to stresses applied. Enzymes are induced to rebuild and grow new blood vessels, muscles tendons, mitochondria, Red blood cells, even the hemoglobin adapts to be more efficient when it needs to. /divdivAll this adaptation is contingent on getting proper rest, recovery, and nutrition. /divdivIf the system is overloaded to the point of failure and beyond the point that is able to recover then it will decompensate. When you get to the knife edge of extremeness even one interval can start you down the slippery slope of decompensation. All you need to do is induce heat shock proteins to make a product that you need to succeed. Whether that is new muscle, RBC’s capillaries, etc. Any effort beyond that is a waste of precious resources. Probably also destructive. /divdivWhether this is from to hard a workout such as regularly achieved by the Facebook group “The Athletically Insane” or because lack of recovery caused by lack of sleep, work, socailizing, injury and or sickness./divdivUnfortunately even knowing that Supercompensation is a like the Holy Grail. It is too good to be true. One has to hold back and not be self destructive. Even if it feels good. /divdiv If you really want to succeed all you need to do is stress the system specifically to cause an adaption. That is where art science and intuition intersect. The Art and Science of Coaching. It is easy to overreach and fail. I personally have proven again and again that training beyond the point of Human reason just leads to Decompensation. /divdivspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-weight: bold;”I have trained to hard to go so slow/span.
