Mental Recovery Is Part of Training
Bodybuilders are usually good at tracking physical fatigue. We count sets Track weight Track reps Track calories but mental fatigue can sneak up without appearing in a spreadsheet. Constant dieting chasing PRs comparing yourself online & feeling like every workout has to be perfect can eventually make training feel like another job. The current research continues to show links between sleep & athlete mood mental health and well-being which is another reason I don't separate recovery into physical and mental boxes. Sometimes the best thing for progress is reducing pressure for a few days you don't always need more motivation sometimes you need less stress🙌🏻
