overtraining on cycle

[girldevlin3]

Im in week 8 of a 12 week cycle and I suddenly have felt a drop in my energy levels. My coach thinks maybe it’s a lack of quality sleep, as everything I have been doing is on point diet and AI. I was thinking of adding 1 extra rest day to my routine as I have been going 6 days a week for 8 weeks. Any thoughts or experiences like this?

It sounds like a good idea.

Listen to your body if you are feeling like your not recovering and it can affect your lifts i would add an extra rest day. Nothing wrong with that.

Absolutely take an extra day off here and there when needed. When you are really feeling it, you can even take a week of or do a "deload" week with light weights. What you are really doing is learning to listen to your body. That will become especially important the older you get.
