Supercompensation

I know we all know rest days but has anyone hear leveraged this? If so how?

For those unaware:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercompensation
"There is no question that belts assist in generating a few more Newton-meters (or foot-pounds) of torque in the torso through elastic recoil of a bent orso that is stiffened with a belt. However, if a neutral spine is preserved throughout the lift this effect is minimal. In other words, to obtain the maximal effect from a belt, the lifter must lift poorly and in a way that exposed the back to a much higher risk of injury!

Just lift weights and stop thinking too hard about it.

If supercompensation is thinking too hard then forget progressive overload too? Would you prefer if I made another theoretical thread about some chick I’d smash that I’ve never met??

Plus the idea wasn’t to necessarily to have a huge discussion but to make others aware of an interesting topic. Fukin incel.

Are you trying to peak for a powerlifting competition or are you lifting for hypertrophy? If the latter then you are a ****ing retard.

If you are a natty who casually lifts a few times per week and eats a so so diet, don't worry about it. All these micro-optimizations matter a total of 0.000350%. It's mental masturbation.

I take a holistic approach to lifting. So powerlifting isn’t the goal but a necessary step to gain bigger muscles. That means borderline powerlifting on compound lifts and on isolation train hypertrophy. If my bicep curls don’t increase week over week that’s whatever but if I can’t add a half pound to my bench after a week there’s an issue mate.

Do you think I am wrong??

I am starting to think none of you actually read the article lulz. My main question is shouldn’t there be borderline exponential growth based on the second chart, if leveraged properly?
