"Overtraining"

[jgman]

I've been doing coolcicadas ppl for nearly three months. I usually do push/pull/legs/push/pull/legs/rest. I always hear people talking about "overtraining", I'm pretty sure it's BS. If you believe in overtraining, do you think I'm overtraining? Btw this is what coolcicada recommended.

Yes it's true, but it's not what most people think. It becomes a problem down the road after you start experiencing joint/tendon pain and injuries, ruining your actual training.

Aside from your thread but I've been looking at his PPL routine. Just curious but what were your starting lifts when you entered the routine vs what they are now.

[kgts]

No clue wtf that is, but no, you are not overtraining.

This is probably gonna make you made but I really don't train for strength. I just started squatting, so I'm not even going to talk about that. I benched 105 for like 2 reps before and now I lift 120 for like 3-4 reps.

No such thing as overtraining , just under resting , If you train more intense longer hours you need much longer to recover , If you train short and light , you need less time to recover , You need to rest accordingly

Coolcicada is the creator of the program.

Well that's a relief. I've upped the volume but I still feel nowhere near that satisfying 'i need a wheelchair' Soreness in my arms traps or chest anymore. Feelsbadman

Soreness goes away for the most part after 6-12 months of training.

Use progressive overload aka "getting stronger" as a way to measure progress. Don't rely on soreness as a measure of a good workout

If you added a rep to your bench press thats progress regardless of how sore you are the next day

You WILL feel when you are overtraining. If you check out the later part of page 3 of my workout log you can read how I felt and then when it hit. You will know trust me.

bingo. You go in, tear yourself beyond failure every day for years, and find yourself unable to recover at a certain point. That's overtraining. It's not even the muscles that aren't recovering, it's your tendons/ligaments/joints that just pop everywhere and need time off. I ice after every day now because I've hit that point.... It's not fun.

3 weeks of those three months were a mini cut, and a couple weeks after were recovery from it. I understand the concept of linear progression much more now.
