Suffering from overtraining. Taking a week off for the first time in... well I don't remember the last time I rested. Lifted 3x and increased cardio sessions to 5x this past week. Feeling nearly all of these symptoms as of Sunday.
Common Warning Signs and Symptoms of Overtraining Syndrome
• Washed-out feeling, tired, drained, lack of energy
• Mild leg soreness, general aches and pains
• Pain in muscles and joints
• Sudden drop in performance
• Insomnia
• Headaches
• Decreased immunity (increased number of colds, and sore throats)
• Decrease in training capacity / intensity
• Moodiness and irritability
• Depression
• Loss of enthusiasm for the sport
• Decreased appetite
• Increased incidence of injuries.
• A compulsive need to exercise
ok this fucked up tendinitis pain in my right shoulder has been hindering my gains and workouts for the past 2-3weeks even with taking 5 days off. WHAT TO DO PHAGGOTS and no i will not take break from gym
Just squatted 350x1
I 1RM was 315lbs 2 months ago. Today I did 15x135, 10x225, 5x315, 1x335, 1x350(got a vid ATG with a stall half way up. Almost failed it and legs were shaking bad haha) 10x225. I'll post the vid when I get home. Followed that up with reverse deadlifts (dat teardrop) and some hamstring curls.
I'm gonna try 375 in 2 weeks. I think if I hadn't done the 315x5 I wouldn't have had as much trouble as I did with the 350.
If anyone has any critiques for me I'd appreciate it as well. Last photo's I posted Halo said my upper chest and lats were lacking so I've been hitting those pretty hard.
Looking swole man.. was that pic after chest day? The only critique I have is that your chest seems to just meld in with your shoulder. Not sure how to fix that though?
i'm in the midst of a partial bulk, but at the same time i'm trying to get rid of the last bit of fat around my lower stomach (i realize a bulk and shred are different stages).
so my question is, how big of a dinner should i be eating? currently i eat a pretty big dinner (2 chicken breasts, 150ml of basmati rice, a ton of fresh cooked veggies). it's pretty much 2+ full plates.
this is great for bulking, but will massive meals between 7-8:30pm hurt my chances of losing that last bit of stomach fat?

Is this even possible?
Especially when the stomach fat is one of the last & hardest areas to lose weight. A partial bulk?
To lose weight in the stomach area, you would need to be on a daily caloric deficit right? Vice versa for a bulk, more than the daily intake.
You can't have the best of both worlds. Lipo?

So the symptoms of Overtraining are exactly the same as the symptoms of not getting enough sleep or rest or possibly getting sick.

+30% surplus on workout days. -20% on non-workout days.
I'm currently on first days of clen, and looking to lose last 30 pounds or so. What I'm doing is:
Lifting heavy
Increased cardio/ morning runs
Abs
What I'm trying to focus on is my diet. Lost my sweet tooth (finally). Eating more chicken and fish. Should I completly eliminate carbs? Also, how's quinoa for me? Never had it. Just bought a bag from costco.
I killed it today holy fuck feeling amazing right now. Erections all over my body.
170 x 5 for 2 sets and 4 reps on last set for bench, it felt so easy.
125 x 5 for 3 sets on strict pendlay rows.
7-9 reps on WIDE grip pull ups.
Just passing on some information I read on bb.com:
For most pulling motions grip the bar with your fingers, for pushing grip with the palm of your hand. It may not be new information to most people here but I just thought I'd share it.

Hey dude, clen isn't a magic drug, it works but diet plays a big part too. I'd probably get the diet in check then throw in clen
There are many different views on cutting, a lot of people say ketogenic/cyclic ketogenic diets are horrible, others say you need carbs.
I've been doing low carb, 35g carbs PWO, some carbs Post workout if I get super drained from workout. Some minor trace carbs throughout the day, total is about 20g carb non training day(mostly from veggies), 55g-90g on training day.
Hour before gym, 1 packet instant oats (20g carbs), 2/3 cup milk (like 10g carbs), scoop of whey, peanut butter (4g carb)
