[QUOTE="Nujace, post: 235214, member: 44366"] I think you’re both right. I have actually experienced overtraining once. I happened to be on my 2nd ever cycle of testosterone at 500mg/week for 12 weeks. I was a powerlifter then and basically just lifted too heavy too often doing squats and deadlifts as part of the old Blackshirt Defense Workout from the University of Nebraska lol Anyways, I thought since I had supra levels of hormones that I could just skip the monthly de-load week that was part of the routine. I was wrong. I think it happened after skipping the 2nd deload week of the program. Think that was 7 weeks in. Classic overtraining hit me hard! Like it suppressed my immune system and everything. Wasn’t able to train for about 10 days and wasn’t feeling well for 2 whole weeks. Even got some mild depression to accompany me from it. Before that happened to me I think I probably believed that overtraining was a myth used an excuse for lazy people afraid of work. Now I know it’s a very real thing but not something most folks need to be concerned about. You feel it coming on like an illness so just be smart and listen to your body. [/QUOTE]
