Anyone Else Feel Beat Up Even on Light Training Weeks?

Yeah sometimes deloads expose recovery issues more than hard weeks

Light training doesn’t help if sleep and food are off

Joint inflammation doesn’t care how easy the week is

Light weeks still hurt if stress is high outside the gym

Electrolytes and hydration make a bigger difference than expected

Hormone swings can make recovery feel trash even on easy sessions

Poor warm ups make light weights feel heavy

Feeling beat up is usually recovery debt not training intensity
