CNS fatigue vs muscular fatigue on high-frequency days

Muscle soreness fades fast, but CNS fatigue sneaks up and lingers.

Some days the body feels ready, but the drive just isn’t there.

High frequency exposes the difference between local fatigue and system burnout.

Bar speed slowing feels different than muscles just feeling tired.

CNS fatigue shows up more in focus and coordination than soreness.

Muscles can recover while performance still drops that’s the tricky part.

Heavy compounds seem to tax the CNS way more than isolation work.

Sleep and stress seem to hit CNS recovery harder than muscle recovery.

It’s easy to mistake low motivation for physical fatigue.

High-frequency plans really test recovery beyond just soreness.
