Overtraining / DOMS/ Fatigue

[Gladiola]

I am soo exhausted today! I've gotten plenty of sleep, eaten right (40p-30c-30f) plenty of calories, my glutamine, but I think I've just plain over done it!

Sunday was intense cardio (was teaching aerobics -haven't done that in a while) then an intense, but brief bi-tri circuit. Monday was heavy legs & Tue was back & rear delt... heavy again for some reason Yeah, I'm an idiot.

So perhaps there is some truth re: overloading to the Central Nervous System??? Even though I got 8.5 hours sleep, I had such trouble dragging my butt out of bed & felt like I'd had the stuff beaten out of me Anyone else experienced this?

All I know is I am switching my split to legs, then chest, then back & then bi/tri. Having sore hams, glutes, lower back from SLDL & then sore lats & traps too SUX!

I did the whole 3 on 1 off 2 on 1 off thing all last year. 4 exercises 4 sets each for "large" muscle groups and so on.

It worked ok at first. But after several months I was shattered. Tired all the time and constantly getting sick. I tried the glutamine supplementation but would have needed a truckload to compensate for my overtraining.

Based on my experience coupled with research you are doing way, way too much of everything. I´ve since altered my program drastically and am reaping the windfall.

Leave that volume stuff for the juicers.
