What is the supercompensation model and how does it relate to training frequency?
The supercompensation model explains how training imposes stress on the body, which then temporarily exceeds its current capacity. After recovery, the body overshoots its baseline capacity, creating a peak that is ideal for subsequent training. Timing your next session during this supercompensation peak is crucial for maximizing adaptation; training too early or too late can hinder progress.
