What is an over-trainer? Over-trainers work out at very high intensity or high volume. Is there anything wrong with this type of training? Not necessarily . . . unless you spend long periods training at this pace. This can lead to inadequate recovery, potential injury, or even be counterproductive to your fitness goals. Overtraining for too long can cause an athlete to become fatigued, ill, or completely crash. So what does overtraining look like and what should you do if you get there?

Common signs:
Several of these symptoms combined could be a strong indication that you are overtraining and need to take the necessary steps to overcome it.
What you should do:
There is that sang, that more is better . . . This is not always true, especially with strength training. Overtraining gradually occurs.

Regeneration will allow you to see better results, avoid injury, and remain optimal in your training program.
