Overtraining Anonymous
Anyone got testimonies here from people who experienced 'overtraining'?

Lack of motivation, lack of energy, etc.. brought by overtraining or overstressing of the central nervous system.

I never had any emotional/psychological effects of it, but i had an extremely painful knee injury from about 5 months of cardio every day. I still don't know the exact problem, but my knees were extremely painful to put straight or bend and recently got to the point where i couldnt walk for days. The doctor said it was tendonitis but im going in for blood tests on Monday to get a better idea of whats going on. On the mental state, i felt glorious every day tbh, i really enjoy cardio & lifting.

Overtraining is a myth created by lazy people who get a little sore. It's the same as "rest days" and "cheat days."

lazy people cite overtraining as an excuse frequently, but it doesnt change the fact that high-level athletes can suffer from it if their CNS is overloaded and they don't have enough recovery.

If you squat 3times a week you can very well overtrain to a point where you just wanna die.
After some weeks you feel so wrecked that you have to put in a week of rest.
Stalling in your progress can be due to this fatigue.

i overtrained and underate when i first started, and therefore didn't get quite the gains i should have. Then I got my act together and now i've been getting some pretty sweet consistent gains for a couple years now.

Lack of motivation and energy and shit, never had much of a problem until the end of this last semester, then the shit hit the fan. External factors in my life led to a certain amount of depression and anger, and I started giving up on my lifting - it just wasn't...fun anymore. About a month of that, getting further and further disconnected from reality, then I had my second session of OCS for the USMC and that kicked my ass into gear, got back a little while ago and have never been more moto.

Injuries and shit will take me off track for a little bit (like a fucking fractured skull, subdural cerebral hemorrhage and retrograde memory loss compounded by loss of motor function), but I usually get right back on the pain train.

The type of overtraining you're talking about I've always called 'burning out.' Typically just need a bit of R&R and you get out of your funk.
