If you are for instance weaker in the next workout from the prior, then chances are you are overtraining...you have not fully recovered. Other telltale signs are irritability, sleeplesness, etc. In the beginning, it is usually balls to the wall, and the body hums along. But as you progress, this "adrenaline" starts to wane, and it gets difficult to maintain too much of a workout. So lesson to be learned, don't start something you cannot finish/keep up with. :) -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

It at some point becomes a "job", and is very difficult to mentally do if you begin with too much. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
