Powerlifting Fatigue - It's More Than Just Muscle Soreness

– Intense training disrupts your body's balance (homeostasis).

– It depletes fuel stores, especially muscle glycogen.

– Low glycogen leads to decreased intensity, volume, and motivation.

– Replenish glycogen with carbs, but dieting can make it difficult.

– Focus on proper technique to minimize nervous system fatigue.

Reduce training volume to allow nervous system recovery.
