The Overtraining Checklist
Too much of a good thing is never a good thing. Weve all heard that before. But none of us ever can seem to remember complaining about problems with phrases such as "where am I going to keep all this extra money?" or "What am I going to do with all these supermodels in my living room?" Other things in life can lead to distress and disaster when they arrive in plentifulness too great for our bearings, and training in the gym is one of these things.
The first enthusiasm that arrives with bodybuilding training is understandable and desired. Our beginners gains are splendid - the muscle arrives faster than we know what to do with it, and we seem to be able to eat anyone under the sun and sleep sparingly and still see gains.

Then, we hit the wall!
Suddenly, muscle and impel gains come slower, and body fat just seems to collect at a rate that we indubitably do not enjoy. What is a lifter to do? You cant dig your way out of a hole, and you cant train your way out of a an overtraining period, but you can make modifications to your situation in order to see best muscle mass gains like you enjoyed in the past. Lets check out an overtraining checklist.
Do you skip meals? This is the whole one culprit for lifters who arent manufacture the gains in the gym that they should be making. Youve got to ensure you are getting 2500 to 3500 calories each day, along with at least 300 grams of protein, split into 6 meals of 50 grams apiece.
Do you sleep less than 7 hours? Sleep 8 hours each night. Nothing more to say!
Are you continually stressed? The top bodybuilders in the world all have one thing in tasteless - a laid back, relaxed nature. Stress releases a hormone called cortisol which boosts fat production and eats away at muscle mass. Smile at your problems, deal with them, and focus on building muscle.
Are you captivating enough wide calories? Remember that in the minds of many bodybuilding gurus, overtraining is just an additional one word for under-eating. While its true that no whole of calories would be able to provide enough recovery capability for a man training 10 hours a day (unless you are a genetic freak like Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps), its also true that when you train hard, you need to eat more food!
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then you may be overtraining. Its not the end of the world - all bodybuilders do it at times. Sleep and eat more, worry less, and by the way, any training past 90 minutes per day is a no-no. Good luck!
