[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 95014, member: 15235"] OP, That sounds like an all-or-nothing mentality, which in itself is not good. That said, I have been lifting and active for about 37 years now and I can definitely see that overtraining is a much bigger problem than generally recognized. I have started to apply the Maffettone heart rate method to moderate my longer endurance workouts, and I have seen nothing but benefit from never going to failure in my lifting. Legendary poster Chilln had a theory that people try to maintain or increase the workouts they did when younger while their hormones are also in decline, which leads to a vicious downward cycle, and that seem to fit the profile of many people.
