This is probably my favorite training article – ever. Not only is it a fascinating insight into the kind of methods – and attitudes – that produce elite sportspeople, it’s also hellaciously funny.
And it’s my kind of humor.
Enjoy.
Charles Poliquin, legendary strength coach, wrote one of my favourite articles on training, entitled, “The Super-Accumulation Program: Overtrain, Rest and Grow!” Poliquin believes that by brutally overtraining, until your numbers actually go 20% to 40% in reverse, you can achieve spectacular gains after full recovery. I personally had the experience of being trained into the ground in The Netherlands; before that, I would have thought training that way was just crazy.
