During photosynthesis, light energy is used to produce ATP molecules which are then used to construct sugar molecules from carbon dioxide and hydrogen obtained from water. Chloroplasts have two outer membranes and several stacks of small disc-shaped membranes called thylakoids (also spelled thylacoids) inside.
Scheduling a week off will give your body time to do this and will also help you return to your workout stronger and ready to challenge your body once again. Many endurance athletes end their season with a week off and many weightlifters will take a week off from their program every four to eight weeks.
If you can only lift with a frequency of 3 days a week, your training volume will need to be relatively high. Conversely, if you can hit the weights 6 days every week, youâll want to tone down the number of sets youâre using to train a given muscle group during each of your training sessions.
