[QUOTE="SoCalSurfer, post: 3708, member: 268"] Weight training rest days are different the a whole body workout which is what you get from martial arts. I would say you are using a lot of the small stabilizer and other muscles that you dont use during weight training. As you know you can pick body parts and rotate days which gives you somewhat of a recover day. But martial arts is more like a football workout where you are full body training. If you played you know you didnt take days off but you stretched everyday. If you dont have them get the massage rollers and work the muscles where you have built up the lactic acid and work the muscle group. Make sure to stretch everyday not just rest days and to stretches after a light warm up dont do them cold. There are a lot of the stretches on YouTube there is a guy name Yuri that has a number of good conditioning routines that could be helpful. As a cyclist I have rest days after a full out effort ride where I go past my lactic acid threshold for a sustain effort. A rest day is supposed to be a light ride with spinning which never happens so I dont even get on the bike. I do some light core and conditioning the stretching. next day ready to go all out again.
