Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3355466, member: 9853"] The story is overtraining soreness within the group, but has now morphed into Reynolds having a possible hamstring injury. I don't think any of us here, or any reporters for that matter, can comment on whether the "soreness" will set us back. It generally means you need to rest until the muscles settle down. A few days at most, and then back at it again, but harder. In case anyone reading this is not familiar with training at an elite level, one of the biggest obstacles to gain is trying to figure out how long to rest after increasing load. It's not going to be the same for everyone, but the muscle growth happens during the time they're resting, not when they're under load. The conflict is you also need to maintain and increase aerobic activity to gain fitness. It's hard to do that without using the muscles you're trying to rest, especially if those muscles are legs and you're a big bloke or an older bloke. Which is why you hire specialist trainers rather than ex-footy players who are mates or good old boys around the club. Training Adam is going to be a real challenge. His autumn is fast approaching, so getting gains from him is going to be tricky and possible futile. It may be the priority to stave off injury, but that varies between individuals. Look at the age of some of the top tennis players and boxers. The Broncos right now are signaling Adam is in maintenance mode, which is fine if we can get Adam 2021 for a couple more years. We don't need to him to get bigger, faster or stronger, just to stay on the field. [/QUOTE]
