I am someone that just hates taking days off from the gym. Other than taking Sunday off, I feel as though I can train hard every day even though I know it would be much better to have recovery workouts or rest days. That being said, what about doing metcon work with weights on a recovery day. Like a kettlbell ladder or barbell complex (like the Javorian complex) where I would be using lighter weights but mainly for the purpose of conditioning. I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on the subject.
