A short insight by Happy Fat Rings
What is Super-compensation
This phrase describes the effect of the bodies' adaptive process to exercise.
Sports scientists use this term to describe the period of adaptation that takes place after a specific phase of training where the body repairs the damage to the organism and over compensates in its regenerative process to help the body respond to similar future stressors.

This principle is tremendously important to understand as an athlete or coach. There must be a control to allow for super-compensation to occur following any training period. The body grows and strengthens to allow for an even higher output during the next cycle of preparation. The art to optimising this period comes from measuring the training blocks for the athlete in a precise and calculated manner.
Too little training will produce little or no results. Too much training will induce an overtrained athlete that is prone to injury, fatigue and demotivation. To adjust properly to incorporate the super-compensation phase in an athletes' block of training the coach or practitioner should calculate the volume and recovery needed between workouts and over the whole cycle (3-12 weeks generally speaking.)
To resume for our readers and followers in simple terms; having an easy week or two of exercise following a long stretch of intense training while sleeping and eating properly will guarantee that the hard work done over the last weeks will consolidate in a the muscle and strength gains that were the original goal.
