over training

[DylWilmot]

Great thread.

I just took two weeks off to destress after 10 weeks hard on.

I was experiencing extreme pain in the back of my neck at the pressure points and overall was at a point where I could not sleep more than 4 hours at a time. At 10 day off point it was a different world. Neck completely without pain and overall muscle hardness improved greatly.

I am the GVT fanatic and I ws "smarter" then the pros that said every 6 weeks cut back weight to half for 2 weeks then ramp back up...so I stayed at weight at 10 weeks. Have not faced tendonitis since I started taking a medicine to reduce uric acid. I slept for 16 hours yesterday without an issue. I feel reborn.

Overtraining is real and as Marcus said...if it is not you are not pushing your body enough.

As a point when a nerve..or CNS...is under constant pressure....that is from exertion, a pinch, bad skeletal alignment...etc. it does one thing..it causes the tissue around it to act differently than at homeostasis. They finally tracked down my hip/leg nerve issue to my spine and a vertebre that internally is pinching the nerve cluster. This pinch has my left leg 15% larger (swollen) than the other and becoming hard as in so much fluid it feels like a rock in places. This happens to anywhere in your body if CNS are pushed too far.

It hurts to hear..take a few weeks off..but in the end it is the answer.

Yes Marcus seems to be very clued up with his stuff and thanks for all the replys guys. I've decided to lower the number of sets I do but keep the intensity (HIIT) and after my back and arms last night It felt like it was the first time I have ever workes out, the same feeling you get the first time LOL.

And taking time off to recover am I right in saying that you shouldn't lose gains if you maintain your diet?
