Wow !! Guess what?!
Weeeeeeeell, i didnt go to the gym at all last week, i know, bad of me, but alot was goin on for that week, spring break n all, but get this!!
i went to the gym last night right, now keep in mind im a guy that goes to the gym religiously 5x a week (with the exception of last week), but i went last night and i went up at least 15-25lbs on all my workouts!!!
i was like what?!?!? i would bench normally like 185lbs, but last night i did 205lbs!!
i normally rep 35lb dumbells, now i did 45lb!!! i went up 10lbs on my abs machine workout, and well a little here and there
but it was great!!! My muscles are feelin the burn and i woke this mornin feelin nice n sore, wow!!

you should always give your body a week off after, ive heard, 6 weeks of straight hard training...of course...most do more...i try and take a week off every 10-12 weeks...i always come back feeling fresh and re-charged!

My point is that you may have been overtraining, and perhaps you need to step down your workout altogether for optimum results. Just a thought.

I always take a week off every 6-8 weeks of training, works amazingly IMO
