repost this is stolen from OFFICIAL WORKOUT/TRAINING THREAD v2.0

Suffering from overtraining. Taking a week off for the first time in... well I don't remember the last time I rested. Lifted 3x and increased cardio sessions to 5x this past week. Feeling nearly all of these symptoms as of Sunday.

Common Warning Signs and Symptoms of Overtraining Syndrome
• Washed-out feeling, tired, drained, lack of energy
• Mild leg soreness, general aches and pains
• Pain in muscles and joints
• Sudden drop in performance

• Decreased immunity (increased number of colds, and sore throats)
• Decrease in training capacity / intensity
• Moodiness and irritability
• Depression
• Loss of enthusiasm for the sport
• Decreased appetite
• Increased incidence of injuries.
• A compulsive need to exercise

Just squatted 350x1 :fuckyea:
I 1RM was 315lbs 2 months ago. Today I did 15x135, 10x225, 5x315, 1x335, 1x350(got a vid ATG with a stall half way up. Almost failed it and legs were shaking bad haha) 10x225. I'll post the vid when I get home. Followed that up with reverse deadlifts (dat teardrop) and some hamstring curls.

I'm gonna try 375 in 2 weeks. I think if I hadn't done the 315x5 I wouldn't have had as much trouble as I did with the 350.

Berz out.

Berz that's BAUS man nice work.

If anyone has any critiques for me I'd appreciate it as well. Last photo's I posted Halo said my upper chest and lats were lacking so I've been hitting those pretty hard.

Looking swole man.. was that pic after chest day? The only critique I have is that your chest seems to just meld in with your shoulder. Not sure how to fix that though?

Fuck can't wait for Epic RS Summer Meet workout thread pic...... haha

Berz out.

i'm in the midst of a partial bulk, but at the same time i'm trying to get rid of the last bit of fat around my lower stomach (i realize a bulk and shred are different stages).

so my question is, how big of a dinner should i be eating? currently i eat a pretty big dinner (2 chicken breasts, 150ml of basmati rice, a ton of fresh cooked veggies). it's pretty much 2+ full plates.

this is great for bulking, but will massive meals between 7-8:30pm hurt my chances of losing that last bit of stomach fat?

When you eat the meals really has no difference on your overall calorie intake.

Berz out.

Is this even possible?

Especially when the stomach fat is one of the last & hardest areas to lose weight. A partial bulk?
To lose weight in the stomach area, you would need to be on a daily caloric deficit right? Vice versa for a bulk, more than the daily intake.
You can't have the best of both worlds. Lipo?

..

So the symptoms of Overtraining are exactly the same as the symptoms of not getting enough sleep or rest or possibly getting sick.

+30% surplus on workout days. -20% on non-workout days.

Yes, it's possible

I'm currently on first days of clen, and looking to lose last 30 pounds or so. What I'm doing is:

Lifting heavy
Increased cardio/ morning runs
Abs

What I'm trying to focus on is my diet. Lost my sweet tooth (finally). Eating more chicken and fish. Should I completly eliminate carbs? Also, how's quinoa for me? Never had it. Just bought a bag from costco.

I killed it today holy fuck feeling amazing right now. Erections all over my body.

170 x 5 for 2 sets and 4 reps on last set for bench, it felt so easy.
125 x 5 for 3 sets on strict pendlay rows.

7-9 reps on WIDE grip pull ups.

Just passing on some information I read on bb.com:

For most pulling motions grip the bar with your fingers, for pushing grip with the palm of your hand. It may not be new information to most people here but I just thought I'd share it.

I'm in such a good mood :fuckyea::fuckyea::fuckyea::fuckyea:

Looking forward to doing chest workout :fuckyea:

some of these symptons i feel when i miss a workout

Don't hate on the shaky legs phaggots.

Berz out.

i have never biked on the bicycle at the gym like the way i did today....trance got me going :accepted:

headphone cord too dangly/10

I use my phone for music and it's usually in my pocket. At least you didn't call it a tampon string.....

Berz out.

You have a new nick, I've decided.

Hey dude, clen isn't a magic drug, it works but diet plays a big part too. I'd probably get the diet in check then throw in clen


There are many different views on cutting, a lot of people say ketogenic/cyclic ketogenic diets are horrible, others say you need carbs.

I've been doing low carb, 35g carbs PWO, some carbs Post workout if I get super drained from workout. Some minor trace carbs throughout the day, total is about 20g carb non training day(mostly from veggies), 55g-90g on training day.

Hour before gym, 1 packet instant oats (20g carbs), 2/3 cup milk (like 10g carbs), scoop of whey, peanut butter (4g carb)

Starting 5x5 stronglifts next week. Can't wait to bust out some new PR's soon.

That is solid
I sometime do bannas before gym

Fuck my strength is way down since this cut but I'm not to worried, was focused more on body fat this cut

sum pr for deads first did 315 x 3, then 335 x 1 after
sorry fcukedd
