Over-training is one of the most common causes of hitting a plateau in your bodybuilding program. If you are not making progress from your bodybuilding workouts, the first thing you need to determine is if you are over-trained or not.? Now, how do you know if you are over-trained?
If you notice that your energy levels are very low. you lack motivation to go to the gym, your pulse in the morning when you wake up is higher than normal, your muscles constantly ache, you are not recovering, your strength is going down at the gym, and your immunity is low, chances are that you are over-trained.?
If you are over-training, the solution?is to simply take a couple of days off to allow the body to completely rejuvenate itself and then ease back into training. This works amazingly well.? Also, by using a periodized bodybuilding workout?as well as following the right bodybuilding diet you minimize your chances of ever getting over-trained again.? Always remember the need to periodize your training because if you choose to do high volume workouts all of the time, eventualy your body will reach the point that it can no longer recover.? That is why periodization varies the training by alternating weeks of high volume workouts with weeks of higher intensity/heavier work.?
