1. Skipping Sleep
Sleep is when your body does most of its repair work.
2. Ignoring Nutrition Timing
What you eat after training matters.
3. Never Taking Rest Days
Rest days allow your body to recover and adapt.
4. Passive Recovery Only
Light movement on rest days speeds recovery.
5. Ignoring Mental Recovery
Physical and mental fatigue are connected.
