Follicular Phase Anaerobic Tolerance
Follicular phase anaerobic tolerance often allows denser intervals and shorter rest between heavy sets—use the window without stacking endless extra hard days.
Follicular phase anaerobic tolerance describes improved repeat-sprint and heavy-lift recovery when estrogen is relatively higher—shorter rest intervals and denser supersets often feel manageable where luteal weeks would leave legs flat. Use the window for lactate-heavy work, not endless extra sets.
Still cap weekly hard days at two or three. Tolerance varies with sleep, iron, and prior load.
Common questions
-
Why do intervals feel easier early in my cycle?
Estrogen often supports power and recovery between hard efforts. Schedule dense intervals in follicular weeks if logs show better tolerance—still respect total weekly load.
