Who has never thought that training a lot is enough to improve? This could just be a myth, you know? The best is to use intelligence in training and enjoy your free time for what you really need.
You will train better and not necessarily more than necessary, thus avoiding theovertraining.
Of course, the more time you spend on it, the more likely you are to improve your skills, but who hasn't spent hours and hours looking for results that never came?
Who usually gets stuck will be able to answer me: of all those hours spent in the garage, for how many you really trained what was needed and how many were just physical stress?
When we use intelligence in training, the focus changes.

HOW TO USE INTELLIGENCE IN TRAINING?
Less can be more
Fatigue does not always indicate victory, although many of us believe they have given their best when more dead than alive from the WOD come out.
However, a short workout, but one that works exactly on what you really need, can be much better for your development as an athlete than a long and tiring workout.
There is time for both, using your head allows you to choose when to do one and when to choose the other.
Train one skill at a time
Sometimes we think of sucking at all, or worse, of being good at all movements, because the overall result is good.
But is it really so?
If we are working to become RX athletes or just for increase performance, looking closely at each training skill is extremely important and allows you to improve details and work on weaknesses.
Without an accurate eye, it takes much longer.
Focus is everything
What are your goals?
Improve physical fitness, personal well-being, have competitive athlete performances?
Knowing why you are training allows your coach to build specific WODs and tailor the training to what you really need.
Without this self-knowledge, one remains at the mercy of events.
Getting followed really makes a difference
Perhaps it is the main key to facing an athletic path in an intelligent way.
In fact, relying on professionals who know you, who understand your goals and limits and who are willing to take you wherever you want, is essential.
Ask your box, they will surely be willing to follow you closely!
Is feeling pain a symptom of having trained well?
Here is the main question.
Some people think they only really trained when they always exceed their limits and when they feel pain the next day.
But this is not necessarily always the case. Knowing yourself well and using the right technique to perform the movements will allow you to achieve your goals in a less painful, but intelligent way.
The rest day is essential
Since the muscles undergo micro-injuries in each workout, they are recovered when we rest.
In this way the muscle is strengthened and ready for new physical activities.
The rest is just as important as going to the pits, guys!
To conclude ...
In short, if you are someone who believes you have to train more and you are never satisfied with your performance, this is an invitation to rethink.
Applying intelligence during training allows you to look into detail, to hone what you already know, to be more than just an athlete and to maximize the effectiveness of your workouts at all times.
