Burnout?
Been training hard for around ten weeks now,with good strength progression,fair increase in muscularity,and good fat loss.
Very little weight increase,which i believe was due to a calorific defecit,but i think i've sorted that out.
The problem now,is that for a couple of days,i've felt a bit flat in the gym.Supposed to be shoulders today,but i'm aching
everywhere,and a bit of left shoulder impingement isn't helping,so i've decided not to bother.
I'm doing a four day split,which comprises of MONDAY Chest and triceps TUESDAY Back and biceps WEDNESDAY Shoulders and abs
THURSDAY Legs.FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY,cardio,and rest.
I'm doing four exercises of four sets,for each bodypart,and i'd be happy to hear opinions on whether or not i'm overdoing it
at 49 years of age.Thanks.

Post up your diet, any gear/supplements you take, stats, etc..

Even while on cycle you would benefit from a deload week periodically. You can just cut back on the weight or the volume on everything for a week to give your body a chance to rebound. As we age we have to train smarter, eat smarter and rest smarter to continue making gains. It's still possible you just have to listen to your body and heed what it's telling you.

Thanks fellas,i used to train the somewhat old fashioned 3 times a week routine,Monday, Wednesday,Friday,but that was a full body workout,and i
was a lot younger,without the injuries,arthritis etc.I'm thinking about the same days,but doing maybe chest/tricep on Monday,legs/shoulders on Wednesday,
and back/biceps on Fridays.This is going to get me a bit more recovery in between.I'm also considering three sets per bodypart,instead of four,although
i'll still do four for legs,as i don't think they're being overworked.
Started using Creatine as well,just to see if it helps. Cheers.

Similar problem over here OP, i feel like i've burned out, cutting since january , was on a cycle , training 5-6 times a week, now i reached my goal, i feel like i'm burned
-Tired constantly
-Hard to study
-Pain in wrist , lower back, even in one quad , right shoulder
-Today even strenght on bench fell off by 2 reps
-Takes me like 1h or more to make myself sleep, i just lay in bed like an idiot
I'm training 5 times a week atm , dieting 24/7 not even 1 cheat meal last 3 weeks
I feel like i can take it 1-2 weeks more max
I'm thinking to take like 3-5 days off completely, still eat clean but at maintenance and relax to recuperate.
Any insights? Didn't want to open a new thread since this one already exists

Well bud,i've had one week at the mon wed fri routine,and it feels better already.
I actually ache more,but in a positive way,as the days in between training,seem to allow me,to feel the workout results,
whereas training on consecutive days,appears not to have allowed me time to feel it (if you know what i mean).
I can feel if i have trained the individual muscle now,which is great.
The sleep problem has affected me as well,and sometimes it takes forever to nod off when you're so tired,your stress
levels shoot up.Slept better this week,and maybe it is connected to a shorter training regime.
Another thing i've done,is allow myself a small amount of rubbish food,as a treat at the weekend,instead of being constantly
clean,and this has improved my mood.
I'll see how it goes for a few weeks,then report back.Thanks.
