Also a lot of people question whether you should train everyday or how often they should lift weights. Well if you want to avoid delayed recovery whether it's from bodybuilding, running, or weightlifting this video can help.

    Some people don't believe that over training is real. But the scientific research tells a completely different story. Overtraining is real and its bad. I know this first hand because I've run into overtraining a couple times myself. Some of the times it was more obvious because I was training 2 to 3 hours each day which lead to a torn bicep, and other times it wasn't so obvious. The fact of the matter is you absolutely need to push yourself to see results from your workouts because undertraining is very real as well and maybe even more common than overtraining. When you don't push yourself enough while working out, and you don't progressively overload with a higher training volume overtime the level of stress you're putting on your body isn't enough to improve. The sweet spot for seeing results is right between undertraining and overtraining. But if you cross that line, you might be working harder than ever but instead of seeing improvements you'll be slowing down your progress, causing overuse injuries, creating hormonal imbalances, and if you continue to overtrain for too long you can gain body fat, lose muscle mass, and even lower your sex drive. Long story short overtraining isn't only caused by working out too much but instead it's the combination of putting too much phsyical, phsycological, and enviormental stress on your body leading to problems that you definitely want to avoid, and luckily there are some signs and symptoms of overtraining, but if you don't know them you may not even notice. So today I want to give you guys 8 signs that you should look out for to ensure that you're not overtraing. And make sure that you stick with me through this video because after I give you these 8 signs to look out for i'll also give you 8 ways to guarantee that you never overtrain again. I want to start with one of the most obvious signs which is a decrease in your performance levels. Now if you're working out really hard and you're workouts typically go well, but then you have one or two bad days where you feel weaker and tired during your workouts this is perfectly normal and it's probably not safe to assume that you've hit the point of overtraining. On the other hand, if you consistently try to complete intense workouts to see some progress, but instead you're losing strength, endurance, or your repeatedly failing to complete your workouts you might be crossing that line. If you are overtraining an it's resulting in decreased performance you'll experience things like a noticeable change in your grip strength, the weights feeling heavier on your joints and bones, less stability and precision with movement patterns, and a decrease in explosiveness. If you consistently experience a couple of these symptoms during your workouts you might see much better results by backing off rather than working harder. It may seem counterintuitive that rest will help you make progress, but the best athletes, strongmen, and bodybuilders all know that training smarter will get you much further than always training harder. Another sign you'll experience is feeling really sore for really long lengths of time after your workouts. This is not to be confused with doms or delayed onset muscle soreness, which is that sore and sometimes even painful feeling that'll usually start the day after training, usually peaking in intensity by day 2, and it can last up to three days. The process of Doms is perfectly normal and is usually caused by either trying unfamiliar exercises, or shocking your body with different training styles li..

    Thats kinda hard to detect if youre in overtraining until its too late.
    I for myself like training alot,listening to you music, working out, sweating and moving your body is like the best feeling ever.
    And even if my workout goes 2hours im feeling happy and euphoric and still want to do more.
    Its hard that your body is actually in a stress mode but youre feeling happy and excited, unknowingly damaging yourself.

    So I just started working out again after a week of not working out and this is my second week, but during squats and leg press I was way more tired. This is probably because I applied progressive overload and added more weight to the leg press and did less reps (I was trying to pick up where I left off) but after the 3rd set I felt nauseous, had a headache, and I could barely move my right leg without it giving pain. I was also way more tired during my squats. This is how overworked muscles react. Lift safe bros and pray for me cuz I’m goin through it right now with the leg pain

    I used to get sick (fever, sore throat, just like a flu) when pushed 100% on the gym, so I had me asking "why? am I overtraining?". Then I started to pay more attention to details and turned out I couldn't workout with fans or cold wind towards me, or this would overload my body. Now when I feel cold in the gym, I workout with more clothes, to deny this effect, and I can push harder as ever when before I had to always keep a close look on intensity.
    So, maybe isn't your workout intensity, maybe you need to keep your body in more comfortable or optimal conditions, including nutrition and rest.
    I'd also change the word "overtraining" for "under resting" or "under caring".

    I just wanted to say thank you so much for what you do. I’ve been working out off and on for years (more off than on) and always had some kind of physical activity that I was into such as skateboarding, basketball, tennis, etc. But I have always had a terrible diet and I never really stuck with working out or studied enough to know what I was doing. I would work out for a few weeks or even months but then quit and never really ate good. Recently I decided to get dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle and I have been watching this channel and a few others and the progress I have made in the past several weeks is the best of my life. I’m eating substantially better, my form is better, I feel better and I can feel myself getting stronger. I can already lift more and I don’t feel fatigued as I used to. And the other day in the store with my wife I ran into a friend I havne’t seen in months and the first thing he asked was if I had lost weight. And the best part is now I actually love going to the gym. It’s my favorite part of the day. But I’m pacing myself. I know my own limits. I wanted to go to the gym today but I knew I was not properly recovered yet so I took the day off and just took a long walk to get some kind of activity.

    I had every single symptom on the list about a 2 week ago. Just finished a deload last week and optimized my workouts getting rid of redundant exercises, lowering sets/upping reps, and moving things around so that there's adequate rest for each muscle group before the next workout. I had too many sets @ max intensity and many overlapping movesets.
    Anyways, after my deload I've started gaining strength again(didn't lose any) and my insomnia has gone away(it was so terrible). I don't feel intense emotional distress before workouts anymore for the first time in weeks. That nagging shoulder pain i had has subsided. I think I'll be deloading once every 6-8 weeks of intense workouts from now on. Good video and good advice.

      @@joshuaolmedaful Yep, I think both. I think my form on benching is what caused the wrist pain initially. I've heard Jeff from AthleanX mentioning doing your bench routine on the floor can help relieve the tension. Something about the structure of the bench when you're coming down on the barbell make make you inadvertently place an emphasis on a particular body part (wrist, which may lead to joint and tendon issues. Maybe the shoulder on a chest press which could stress your labrum).
      I think people's...(don't know if miseducation or uninformed would be the better word here) of over training is an issue too. I've realized it's not always about a very obvious, visible, significant injury but anything unusual regardless of how minor (no fracture, but extended soreness, small, but lingering pain, grip tendencies, etc) are signs. We don’t want to give up training altogether. But have to be better at how we work around stuff.

    case in point. I went FULL bore on a leg day on Wednesday, even PR'd 5x5 Squats. WOOT. The next day was a rest day and went for a mild jog and ended up motivated and started wind sprints.. Pulled that DAMN inner ham string muscle again.. Now I'm nursing it.. Going to take off next week to recover.
    I enjoy watching this Channel. Covers topics that are easy to understand without all the yelling, telling you have to do this and that or poking at others. To me, gives a mature fantastic way to look at and understand realistic concepts of what my body can and can't, should and shouldn't do and more over has data to back it up. Sure, I watch other channels but I always finding myself coming back here for the "Real Scoop".. Thanks GT. Now if you can explain how to recover from a strained Ham string and still hit the gym would be fantastic.. LOL.. /jk.

    really appreciate the explanation :)
    I got a question though..
    what would be your recommended amount of a daily workout session ?
    I have been training for the past year and a bit (2-3 month) and I’ve experienced a great change so far.
    My workouts has been mostly for a 5 days a week of 2.5 up to 4 hours of gym time (daily).
    I am trying to cut my workouts at half but due to a variety of reasons I feel that less than the amount I’ve mentioned per session I am not reaching the point of progress.
    could I be leading myself towards over-training ?
