Overtraining? You've Been Lied To
Has anyone ever told you that you're overtraining? It seems to be one of the favorite things to do for the so called Internet muscle building and fat loss experts. Those same so called experts will tell you that working a muscle more than once per week is overtraining. I guess they've never met the huge powerlifters and amazingly strong Olympic lifters that routinely work a muscle more than once per week... not to mention the many natural bodybuilders who work a muscle group more than once per week.
I cannot take it any more!!! No one can tell anyone they are overtraining without knowing much more about the person, their weight training program, their diet, their sleep habits, the stress in their life and much more. The nonsense must stop now.
Those so called Internet experts cost me years and years of my time, money, and effort. I could have made much faster progress if I wouldn't have taken their advice. I built my website and this newsletter to get the truth out there to as many people as possible. I don't want you to go through the same crap that I went through.
Don't Let Anyone Tell You You're Overtraining... They Don't Know
Do you have any idea why someone can't look at your weight lifting program and tell you that you're overtraining? I've even heard those experts tell people that working out more than 3 times per week is overtraining. Amazing I tell you. Simply amazing. There are WAY TOO MANY factors for anyone to tell you that you're overtraining... Way too many.
Here are some of the factors that affect recovery from weight lifting workouts:
1) Fluid Intake
2) Nutrition and Diet
3) Aerobic Exercise
4) Weekly Program Adjustments
5) Weight Training Intensity
6) Frequency of Workouts
7) Pre and Post Workout Diet
8) Supplement Intake
9) Sleep
10) Stress Levels
11) Genetics
12) Conditioning Level
The factors affecting recovery from workouts that I've listed above are still only a few... The list goes on and on. Your entire life and what you do each and every day affects your recovery from workouts and your muscle building and fat burning results. No one will ever be able to tell you that you're overtraining. It's something you're going to have to watch out for yourself.
Did you know that you could workout 7 days per week for years and not overtrain? All you would have to do is start out easy, keep intensity low, increase your conditioning, and continue to increase workload and intensity as your body adapts to the increased workout load. Now I don't recommend 7 days per week... I just wanted to make a point.
What's my point? My point is no one and I mean no one can tell you that you are doing too much without taking into account all the factors that affect recovery between workouts. They need to know how your progress is coming along, how much you've been sleeping, the stress levels in your life, do you stretch, do you perform low or high intensity cardio, do you go to failure every set of every workout, etc. So never listen to someone who tells you that you're overtraining without taking into account all the factors.
How Do You Know if You're Overtraining?
The easiest way to watch for signs of overtraining is to measure your strength gains from workout to workout. If you're making progress from workout to workout, you are definitely not overtraining. When strength gains come to a halt, you should start paying more attention to the factors that affect recovery between workouts. Are you drinking plenty of water? Are you eating enough of the right foods? And so on...
If you're building strength each workout, you don't have to worry about overtraining.
But if progress slows, you first need to make sure you're drinking enough water and eating plenty of healthy and nutritious foods. A simple increase in water intake and improvements in food and amounts of that food will turn everything around for you.
If you have soreness in a muscle group for more than 4 to 5 days, you overdid it at your last workout. You may need to take an extended break if the soreness persists... especially if you've been lifting weights consistently for more than a few months. Take a week off and let your body recover before starting your next weight lifting program.
How The WLC Program Prevents You From Overtraining...
An entire section on Rest and Recovery is included in the WLC Program Package. You will not only leanr how to prevent overtraining, but you'll learn how to optimize recovery between weight training workouts which leads to faster and bigger gains in muscle size and muscle strength.
Learn how to decrease stress levels. Stress is one of the bigger factors that can prevent you from making progress. If you don't decrease stress in your life, you'll never make optimal progress.
Sleep is another very important factor. Do you do anything to help you get better sleep at night? Have you ever had trouble sleeping at night? If so, you must realize that you need better sleep to get better results. You'll learn how to improve sleep with the WLC Program.
I even have a few special tactics in the WLC Program that you can use to increase recovery from workouts even more. You won't find information like this anywhere else. Use this information, and you'll never have to worry about overtraining again. You'll know you're doing everything you can to get the best possible results.
An important tactic for preventing overtraining that you can use immediately is to take a full one week break after every weight training cycle. A weight training cycle can last anywhere from 8 to 15 weeks. Then, you need to take a break. No strenuous activity is allowed during the break so your body can fully recover.
This break not only prevents overtraining but allows you to make unbelievable progress the following cycle by deconditioning your muscles. - 17268
