 Ne n coner a fuickex .ay ouse part we .be Member 1425, 4647 posts SQ 340, BP 227.5, DL 335902.5 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | i have hit a point where somthing strange has happend i have always kinda understood the point of not over training but over last couple of months i have noticed that the harder i push my self and harder i "overtrain" my body i hit a point where i feel like stoping and cant walk properly cant sleep properly feel sick alot the same wieght feels heavier and heavier each session but then to my surprise i go train 1 time and the wieght starts feeling easier and so on each session theres no chance i could lift my max in this state but if i take a week off and recover i come back a hell of a lot stronger than i was before so heres the thing is it wise to push your body to the limit for 6 weeks solid and take 1 week off to recover ? i know its a wierd way of thinking and goes against the grain but what are people thaughts | ||

 deadlift 300kg conventional ? never gonna happen Member 414, 1127 posts SQ 275, BP 187.5, DL 317.5780.0 kgs @ 115kgs Eq | Don't take time off, just change the exercise or resistance curve of that exercise. e.g. change squats for box squats/ use a different kind of bar/ change amount of chains/bands used if you use them. For deadlift change to rack pulls, change stance (conventional, sumo) or do some deficits. | ||
