The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss
I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it

The frequency of the A and B Occam workouts is based on a simple premise: you must increase
recovery time along with size.
You will exercise less frequently as you increase strength and size, as you can often increase
muscle mass well over 100% before reaching a genetic ceiling, but your recovery abilities might
only improve 2030% through enzymatic and immune system upregulation (increased plasma
glutamine production, etc.).
Put in simple terms: it takes nongrowing repair systems longer to repair a 20-pound muscle
than its 10-pound predecessor. The bigger and stronger you get, the less often you will go to the
gym.
Looking at the hypothetical two months below printed from freeprint ablecalendar.net, we
see that sessions are not scheduled on set days (e.g., Monday and Friday), but are instead spaced
apart by set numbers of rest days, which increase over time.
