my coach just gave us this offseason workout and we are doing squat, bench press, deadlifts, and powercleans all twice a week isn't that over training?

if you are going to failure, maybe

if he is giving you a percentage of your rep max, and rep number to do, than probably no

for ex, in hs, our coach had us on all those exercises twice a week also, like only 3 days apart

but he told us for ex 70 percent 1rm for 10 reps........or whatever......then the second time of the week, it would alwways be a hair less intense.....this is fine

but if you are going to failure, than yes, maybe overtraining
