could it be overtraining??

[CHSFOOTBALL]

for the last 3 and a half weeks I have been on a diet to get leaner and up until the beginning of this week, i couldnt have asked for better results....however, the last couple days at the gym have been kinda hard, not just because a bit of strength was lost(which happens when cutting) but my energy levels were starting to go down. I have had the same diet for the last 2 weeks(havent lowered calories since week 1, just upped cardio) and i keep my healthy fats up. I think i may have GAINED like 1% bf since last week, not because of gaining fat, but i think i lost muscle due to overtraining. i go to the gym 7 days a week. this is what it looks like

- 1 -back, bi's, core, 25 minutes cardio=1.5 hrs
- 2 -chest, tris, core, 25 minutes of cardio=1.5hrs
- 3 -legs, core, 25 minutes cardio=1.5 hours
- 4 -shoulders/traps, core, 25 minutes of cardio=1.5 hrs
- 5 -35 minutes of cardio, double up on core
- 6 -restart

maybe i should have put some off days in there, but it worked for me for a while, and I just love going to the gym...it should be noted that core involves hyperextensions, weighted situps, and kickups, as well as weighted oblique side bends

Too much core work.

It's your diet.

Overtraining doesn't happen in a few weeks.

yeah but why would my diet work so well for 3 weeks and then just not work?

Too much core work.

trust me man i know i gotta eat a **** ton, i wouldnt have made it to 230 without knowing that, but there has to be a point where your muscles get so torn down that they cant rebuild themselves as well as if you werent overtraining

You can't say u think you gained 1% body fat. There are so many factors that affect your body fat during the day. You're probably the same. Don't worry about it and keep lifting hard.
