[QUOTE="Pl8er, post: 2415366, member: 540634"] This is something that I battled for a LONG time. Overtraining can be good from time-to-time but you MUST rest. Its actually when the bulk of your muscle is going to be formed. You must eat eat eat...work out HARD and then get a full nights sleep. Have you ever taken a 4-6 week break since you started regularly working out? Its hard to do, but your body gets the chance to fully heal. You should work out for 1 hour 1 1/2 hours max and rest at least (bare min.) 1 day a week, better off with 2 and put it in the middle of the week. For instance mon lift tues lift wed break thur lift fri lift sat break etc. I used to do the straight through workouts. I've only recently (last 9 months) done the breaks in between. The results are HUGE. I maxed at 335 about 4 days ago (I'm 190). Not fantastic, I know...but such a huge increase for me from a year ago. [/QUOTE]
