Overtraining?
Friday, August 1st, 2008Hey all - I’m in the 4th month of training, 3rd week of a new program - heavier, mostly free weights, lower reps. I’ve noticed some great gains in the amount I can lift and my endurance, plus I can see results in the mirror, but lately I’m exhausted! I haven’t slept well the last 2-3weeks, I toss and turn all night, and some days I feel really run down. Even extra coffee in the morning isn’t helping! lol. Anyway, I think I might be over-doing it, with work and then the gym 5-6 days a week, but honestly, I love lifting the weights!! So, I’m going to try a new workout split, 1 day on / 1 day off. Not happy about it, I like hitting the gym M-F, but the rest day in between each training day is probably what my body needs. Any advice? Thanks for reading!
