Coincidence or Congruity???

Today was one of those sensational days when everything just fell into place from the minute I woke up!!

I had tremendous clarity of thought, energy to burn, consistently good mood, confidence and a definite sense of physical well-being.

Interestingly, this seems to happen the day after a big session at the gym, particularly after a gruelling back or leg workout.

Now I know most of you are probably thinking that this is simply just a coincidence.

But is it really??

After a tough workout, particularly one that involves heavy compound movements such as squats, deadlifts or heavy bent rows, the attack on the body’s Central Nervous System can then elicit a positive response in both growth hormone and testosterone production so as to help you recover and recuperate.
This will happen particularly if the workout is not too long (less than 1 hour or so) and performed not too frequently.

I have also noticed, that after these workouts, I do tend to sleep incredibly well, which in turn might explain why I feel like ‘King’ the next day.

This great sleep also raises growth hormone and testosterone, all whilst lowering the stress hormone, cortisol. So this seems to once again support my original reasoning.

So, to all those guys that skip leg’s day or just do basic lat pulldowns for back movements, you might just be missing out on some really great benefits.
