That is if you do benches and do a certain weight, and the next time you do them you actually drop in weight or reps(besides the normal bad day), it this continues you are most probably not recovering from your workouts, and overtraining is setting in. If each day is a struggle, no matter what bodypart you are working, you are overtraining. You need to gear your workout to your recovery threshold. This you must find, we all differ. Irritability, sleeplessness, etc. are signs also of a different nature, but stem from overtraining also. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

morpheus1 Posts: 67 Joined: 2005/01/06	2005/03/19, 07:44 PM Thanks Carivan. :big_smile: Perhaps I misread what he posted. I thought he said he was asking because he had been sore for two days (not because he lifted for two days). I just wanted to point out that DOMS was a possibility.
