Rest and recovery nutrition are very important parts of training, and usually overlooked.  Here’s a great example…

I recently performed my best ever power clean ever (245 lbs.)!  I couldn’t believe it.  I’ve never lifted that much and felt that good doing it.  And here’s the strange thing… I haven’t been trying to lift heavy in a while.  In fact, I’ve been doing pretty moderate workouts comparatively speaking.  So how was I able to lift so much?

I believe the key was adequate rest (I’ve been getting 7 hours per night on the weekdays and 8+ on the weekends) and adequate recovery nutrition (I take my Fluid after every workout and work hard to keep my meals small and frequent).

I see so many people wanting to improve some aspect of their body (strength, power, body fat, etc.) and only focus on exercising harder and harder rather than focusing on the other aspects of performance enhancement that occur outside the gym (namely, rest and recovery nutrition).
