Q and A with the Doc- OverTraining?
I answer a loyal fans concern regarding a decrease in his strength. Could this be your problem?
Q: Hey Doc
Over the past few months i have noticed a gradual decrease in strength and an increase in muscles soreness. I have also had an increase in forearm pain and joint pain. I have also begun to gradually lose weight which is not what I am trying to do. I was wondering if I was suffering from over training? I work out 4-5 days a week for about 1 hr 30 min a day.
I do chest/tris Mondays along with some ab work and sprints.
Tuesday is back/bis and i hit the bag after lifting. Wednesday is legs and abs.
Thursday is shoulders abs and forearms and i hit the bag after lifting.
Friday is bis/tris and sat and sun are off days. in each lift
