It is easy to get caught in the isolationist trap. Trying to
isolate an energy system or any system of the body may be mentally convenient
and look good in theory but in practice it is like chasing a pot of gold at the
end of a rainbow. All systems of the body work together all the time and they
work together synergistically to maintain a state of homeostasis. When you do a
heavy lifting session it is certainly of high nervous system demand and very
taxing on the muscles involved but there is also an ancillary cardiovascular
effect and endocrine hormonal effect. In designing and implementing an
effective long-term training program this must be taken into account. Look at
how systems of the body integrate and how there is a spillover from one training
method to another. Tap into the wisdom of the body, integrate to adapt to the
demands of training in order to prepare for competition.
