Squat Every Day: Thoughts on Overtraining and Recovery in Strength Training

Common wisdom says you can only "hit" a body part once a week if you want results from your strength-training workouts. The bogeyman of "overtraining" waits around every corner, ready to strike down your gains.

In Squat Every Day, author Matt Perryman digs into the origins of the overtraining myth. By looking into how advanced athletes really train and considering the science of exercise and recovery, a different story emerges. Bolstered by his own experiments with squatting to a "daily max" every day of the week, this book will show you that limitations aren't what you might think.
