weaker

[shaneaunt]

Was benching 250x7 now ca barely get 3 after a few days and it wasn't just one day its been that was for 3 or 4 days on squats I was doing 365x4 now on my second set of 3 with 335 I can't even do one.


Its really starting to piss me off and I'm not sure why it happening.


What I think it might be


Started taking melatonin b4 bed, could I still be tired from that as I lift in the morning?

actually upped my cals by 500 and feel weaker



Strong wtf



Your thought?

Whatdo?

[itsperseus]

Maybe you're lifting a high percentage of your 1RM and it's not giving your body enough time to recuperate..I ran into that problem with squats..you do lift pretty heavy with a lot of frequency, but idk..what I consider heavy may not be heavy for you

[Whitekoala]

Ya shaneaunt. Your body doesn't have enough time to recover. thats my opinion anyways

Your also into powerlifting, i would head over to the powerlifting section and ask their opinion

You could also PM a guy named "Martyn" he posts frequently in tbb and he is also a powerlifter, he also lifts just like you. He squats fullbody 6-7 times a week

[Zynus]

Not sure.. But I have to ask. Are you seriously 15? If so, I feel like complete ****. /jealous bro

[shaneaunt]

So

I already said fukk that full body bull**** now its more of a upper lower routine.


@perseus I upped volume and dropped frequcny cuz my joints and I felt a lot stroger for a few days then my strength went to ****


Yeah im15

[shaneaunt]

I don't even fukking know I just close grip benched 275x3with great form then 295x1 with **** form but still a pr then 275x2 with bad form on the second

Lay off the melatonin before bed, try to find another way to help you sleep, like laying down in bed sooner or something.

I have some, wanting to try it cause i toss and turn a lot. And nah, try an hour before, you don't wanna be tired way before bed.

[naich]

had this problem with squats a few months back i found that daily stretching helped with recovery and flexibility in true lift and my lifts in general went back up.

[TheJimmyRustler]

No mo full body stuff? How about your goals, still on track with them, or just aiming for something different?

yeah still going for goals just added some volume cuz I had shoulder and knee pain almost rightafter I started full body.

Ill just take the melatonin a little earlier


Bump for more opinions

[Zynus]

Whenever I take melatonin, I sometimes feel slightly weaker the next morning. Also, could you post your upper body routine?

[MrrB]

Deload maybe?

[shaneaunt]

[Whitekoala]

ya i know i messed up. reading it over what the phuck did i mean lmfao.

I guess i meant to say he does full body training every day

[agrier9]

might just be having a bad week. one thing I know for certain that if you're on a caloric surplus you will continue to make strength gains regardless.

[Ks07]

Take a break and load up on carbs and sleep, sounds like a classic case of overtraining

[Hamzzza]

i hate the idea of lifting lighter but if i have to i will

this is the best thing you could do imo, deload for 7-10 days, change routine when you come back

[shaneaunt]

Change routine? Can it be a slight change?


Have been eating 5k calories a day with 700+ carbs

Sleep without taking melatolin.
Get 8 hours of sleep consistently.
hydrate yourself well.

You could always be experiencing a side effect of the drug that is affecting you.
You can still be tired if you're working out in the morning.

Your body releases melatonin why would taking it have different effects

Go back to full body frequency, same thing happened to me, I switched back and my gainzzzxzx went way up.

Also instead of taking just melatonin take Dymatize GABA. Seriously take it.


Also #teambigavi was strong in this thread.

[Jericoe]

Lol it isnt the melatonin. Your body makes melatonin. Deload for a week and eat a ****load while deloading.

I have little-no knowledge on this subject.
You're asking what is wrong so I'm giving tips/advice on what could be wrong.

However, even if your body produces it why would it still be considered safe if you take in an abnormally larger dose.
