MOC: [[System Thinking]] Source: [[Exercise Scientist’s Masterclass On Building Muscle]] *** According to [[Mike Israetel]] a big element to take into account when gauging your muscle recovery between sets or workouts is limiting factors. Often, we'll think: 'Oh, my quads are fully recovered that's great!' but if your arm muscles for instance are still weak, they'll be the bottleneck for your quads workout. That's super interesting because we often frame the problem by focusing on our goals (in this example, target muscle). Or sometimes, we'll search desperately for a root cause. But thinking in terms of limiting factors can help us broaden our perspective when investigating a problem. => [[Negative thinking]]
