How To Avoid Over Training - The Secret To Maximize Your Muscle Building Program.
So you need to get the point by now… Over-training effects the complete body, and can seriously impact the results of your muscle building program.

Is it Worse to Over-Train With Cardio or Weight Training?

Any form of over-training is a bad thing, however, I have experienced both types of over-training and can truthfully say that over-training in the weight room is much worse, and lots more prevalent than over-training through heart training.

Here are just some of the explanations why :

* In order to grow, muscles must totally bounce back from their last workout, each workout. If you are over-training and work the muscles before they have absolutely recovered, you may break down the muscle tissue before it has rebuilt-making it impossible to build muscle!

* It can lead beginners down the inaccurate trail, maybe wasting cash on needless additions, or worse, steroids.

I personally believe that only competitive athletes such as swimmers, runners and bikers run a significant chance of reaching a state of cardiovascular over-training, since there are frequently coaching for 2 or more hours daily.

The bottom line is that it is much easier for the typical person to over-train while weight training than while cardiovascular training, and I think the effects can be more serious.

How do I Establish if I’m Over-training?

If you are losing interest in workouts, are having trouble sleeping, and feel feeble and irritable, you may be in a state of over-training and should take a week or more off.

If you are experiencing 2 or more of the symptoms revealed earlier in the article, this should raise a red flag.

Another variable you may use to determine if you are over-training is by tracking the performance of your workouts.

Has your physical performance improved compared to your last workout?

For example, we could say last workout you were able to perform eight pull-ups using your body-weight, but were only able to perform 6 pull-ups the following week. This suggests that you’ve not “out done” your previous workout, have not absolutely recovered, and so are likely over-training. You nave to re-asses your program and make alterations so that you see progress each workout.
