Over training?

[Massroid1020]

Anyone out there ever experienced over training? What effects did it have on you? How did you realize you were over training?

Major signs are tendons/joints hurting. Or not getting good sleep At all.. You will know if you're overtraining. It's harder to do than most people think

Fatigue, muscles have a spongy feeling to them and stop showing any changes, sometimes illnesses can happen as well

Is it possible to overtrain say one particular muscle group? Where as all other workouts are normal, but hitting that certain muscle group lifts are weaker? Still always feel tired and lacking the normal motivation and drive

 

[psizzle_8]

Yes

Take a few days off from that particular muscle group. Even a week. On that day, do just cardio or abs or another group you don't pay as much attention to. Then come back after the overtrained group has rested

Well if you don't mind, what's your opinion on gaining mass working out everything twice a week. Six days on one day off

You suffer greater risk for overtraining with that.

I saw the best results I've ever seen when I did a 4 day split and only did about 4-5 exercises per body part, no lie.

Quantity isn't always a good thing....quality exercises = always
