I had trouble with overtraining and I had to switch my mindset and realize that sometimes being disciplined with your training means knowing when to take a rest day.
Well said. People start to think no that discipline always means pushing harder. Sometimes you have to train smarter instead.
Very true, i started running last january 6 times a week,, decided to add a bit of lifting, 4 days of that and the next day i feel the fatigue no motivation at all so tired. Now im going to do my lifting every other day maybe 3 times a week. Cant stop running tho enjoying it so much
Rolling around restlessly in my sleep was definitely something I've had, completely crossed my mind
Restless sleep
Itchy eyes
Lower back pain
Tired in the day time
A little depressed
Searching for dopamine
You’ve summed it up perfectly, when over trained my day would consist of waking up after barely sleeping, struggling to piece my thoughts together, music no longer sounding good, and snacking on junkfood
@@IhaveBigFeet no more training only light cardio and stretching. Search the stress factors and try eliminate them.
I had all of those PLUS ED. Dam. I was killing myself.
@@schoolboy405 i see it now as a lesson. Take your time, look for the problem and solve it.
@@schoolboy405same
I was sleepy, my forearms were aching, and I had to drop the weight on everything I was lifting. That's when I knew something was up.
@Ryan T Same thing bro did you get out the rut yet? And if so what did you do I’m thinking of taking 3 or 4 days off
@Ryan T I’ll probably try that thanks bro hope all goes well !
Thays where I'm at it sucks,,,, I went from curling 80lbs down to 40 lmao not liking it
@Ryan T thanks man that advice helped me as well,,,,,, I'm already going light on weight but I think I need to fine tune even more and then sty there for a month. Maybe I'll just hit the gym 3 days a week
Yeah one time I had a similar experience. My back was killing me, palms were sweating, knees weak, arms were heavy.
I overtrained about ten years ago, while operating at a severe calorie deficit. I did lose 90 pounds but I ended up getting very sick with two serious autoimmune disorders. I had to go on a chemotherapy drug, which caused weight gain. I had so much arthritis in my hips, I could barely walk up stairs. My homeostasis was all messed up. I was cold all the time.
I am finally back to working out but my focus is on resistance training 1-2 days a week, with alternating with yin yoga. I walk a mile or two on non lifting days. I also make it a priority to get 8 hours of sleep. My overtraining was extreme and mostly cardio driven, but I now listen to my body, even if it means skipping or postponing a workout.
Wow that crazy I train really hard in boxing and regular gym afterwards I haven't slept in like 4 days I'm going to take a week of but its hard
How long did it take to recover
It's so nice to hear that other people have had this too, not just me being "soft" or needing to work harder.
Burning hands, hot flashes, lower back pain that just won’t go away, flu like symptoms. I thought I was just sick, but this could be it. I also workout with a group most times, so maybe I’m pushing myself too hard.
How r u doing now? And how did it take to recover? Was it really overtraining?
@@DarkoFitCoach I wasn't getting enough salt & electrolytes actually, and I was lacking in proteins and aminos. It sorted itself out shortly after working through those deficiencies.
@@Jigsaw0097 aha. So nothing to do with overtrained. Nice. Lucky you
such an underrated podcast!!
YOUR CHANNEL IS SO GOOD I INLY DISCOVERED IT TODAY AND ALL THE VIDEOS RELATE TO ME SO MUCH LOL
Definitely agree with this, especially the whole “I’ve pushed through a tired day before and felt great so I’ll just go to the gym”. I often get in my head that if I don’t go and obliterate myself that I just don’t want it enough and I’ll lose my gains.
The truth is the best gains I’ve seen is when I’ve modified intensity and actually listened to my body. I like training full body and there’s been times I’ve smashed it for 3 days in a row and felt great, and times where I’ve went hard one day and had to take it easy for 4 days afterwards. The funny thing is we don’t see gains in the short term but over the long term there is a huge difference, like when I look back to this time last year and my chest press has increased 30+kg.
The rest and workout are equally just as important. Sometimes I just need to listen to my body a little closer rather than the blanket statement of go hard everyday 🤣
You can literally feel when you’re ready to crank again
You catch a cold weekly, you get agitated over nothing, lying on your bench like it's your bed, losing track on how many times you worked out during the week.
I really have to watch how much I excersize. I am aborist, and it can be quite intense some times. At most I do 3 days a week with low volume training. Does wonders for my body when I rest and pay attention to my body and work out accordingly.... Full body low volume has saved me alot of time and my strength is increasing.
I am an arborist also, I’ve worked out consistently for years. Recently for nearly 2 months I pushed it up to 6x a week lifting, and this in combination with tree work pushed me over the edge into true overtraining. Getting sick constantly, insomnia, irritability. On week two of rest/recovery right now
I went through this for the first time yesterday. I didnt feel like my usual but told myself to go and train anyway. However half way through my workout I felt really sick in my chest, stomach and especially in my head. It was horrible and I am something who can handle intensity. My nervous system was fried. It was really really bad like I was going to collapse. I will never ignore this again, I now believe overtraining and ignoring proper recovery is dangerous. I'm 46 so my age probably added to the exhaustion.
Did you face issues with focusing at work? Like you're trying to read something and you just can't understand it.
Been in orange theory for almost a year but just consistently started going and I had to force myself to do some light days but find it hard to not go all out at times
After 8 weeks I moved from a 5x5 routine to a 5x3. I was making steady gains but after 8 weeks I couldn’t push it harder. In it for the long haul.
I did ONE set of 5x5 and got my symptoms back.. alot of HIIT destroyed my nervous system
Funny Im.dealing with this now.. normally 3 day full body...lately iv been goin ev day... until I started feeling hip joint pain... slowing dwn now
Jesus christ ,I've been waking up up to 6 times a night last 2 months,full body training 3 times a week,which should be fine most of the time ,I think we ate not considering our other aspects of life,like kids,work commitments. I Dailey down and all is well now
Hey, same thing with me. I used to workout 3 times a week. But did you face issues with focusing at work? Me being an engineer, I struggled when I used to workout
Gauging training load for strength training is harder. We have all these fitness watches that do great jobs with that with cardio exercise, but strength training has yet to receive alot of attention in this area on these devices.
What is an appropriate volume or training load is going to be different for everybody, too. Many people have unrealistic fitness goals and this can complicate recognizing overtraining.
I fell into the trap of training hard multiple days in a row because my legs feel weak after I train them, which is really quite stupid, they're weak because they're tired but I feel like I should work on them harder because they feel weak, which just leads to tension and the need for a full week off.
i do the same. i train hard a few days. but then only take like 1 rest day. i think i'll get out of the habit if i take 3x days off. but i will try that. and i do agree with oh my arms or legs are weak i should train them harder. i FEEL IF i don't go hard or get that burn that im not really working out.
For me it not being able to recover for the next workout and it takes a week to recover
Can u tell if you have over trained by checking your heart beats per min?
resting heart rate in the morning increases as well
Audiatechnica m50x my headphones bros!
All the symptoms he just Ned is what I am going through right now. Guess I need to slow down because I don't want to stop I can't stop ill lose all my progress
Did it get better?❤
It's weird I got fat and small on my cut only training with high intensity,4times per week only for 30mins each session 😢
I feel like my stamina is increasing but i do feel the strains and restless sleep
You're probably over-reaching somewhat. When it starts to cause restless sleep, it's probably time to deload and rest. Lack of good sleep does nothing good for muscle and strength gain.
❤
I'm experiencing mental health issues and i suspect its due to overtraining. I've definitely plateaued and also having sleep issues. Ive increased calories and decided to rest and the result of that is utter exhaustion. Now im thinking the exhaustion is my body forcing me to take a rest.When i was lifting heavy with intensity i wasn't exhausted, more wired, flight and fight mode. That's a week now and I'm still exhausted but not as bad at first. Just doing 10 sets now heavy 5 times a week. Wondering if that's still too much and need complete rest?
Yeah you should stop with the heavy weights, I would do light workouts for the next month and see how your energy levels are
@@jonesy1589 Thanks for the advice pal, I've been forced to rest, I never like using age as an excuse but I'm 51 not 21. My body has responded in a favourable way so I'm listening to my body and will fully recover before trying to get back to progressive overload.
How is it now?
Totally over trained today
Me too brotha
You cannot overtrain on one single day, overtraining takes a long period of time.
@@eiseneuter2034 you can definitely over train in a day just takes a longer time of consistently overtraining to see side effects
@@misfits12o no, you can't. What you mean is overreaching.
@@eiseneuter2034 nah I’ve gone so hard in a day that I’ve spent a week unable to move. That’s not overreaching. That’s over training.
I tried to tell Goggins he over trains, that was a mistake😬🤔🫣
lol
Can overtraining cause anxiety to worsen?
I think so
Yes!
For sure it can. Overtraining keeps cortisol high and that alone will make u anxious as hell
That's true overtraining cause anxiety depression confusion and stiffness to your body ..I m currently recovering from it ..feeling much better
@@sunpreetsingh5143 wow i have the same thing. Tell me more abput your symptoms and how u recovered etc pls
Lowered quality of sex is what told me I was overtraining... I'm very conditioned to ignore all the other signs
And then you have goggins telling you that you are a weak collapsing.bad man to listen to.😮
Stay hard! 😂
Overtraining is the devil dressed as Jesus
it fucking sucks don't over train
