My Thoughts On Overtraining
April 30th, 2007
Hey buddy I’m glad you made it! Actually I was just about to pick up the phone…. to call you and see if you were coming! Gee Nino thanks for being concerned about me…. I actually over slept! Gee that’s not like you… your always the first one to arrive! Are you feeling ok? Gee Nino I can’t figure it out in the last couple of weeks…. I’ve had absolutely no energy or ambition to do anything! Nino the funny part is I’ve been eating right and only taking the supplements, you told me to take!
Futhermore Nino I’ve been working out…. everyday of the week! Gee Nino I’ve been following your nutrition plan to a tee…. by eating five to six small meals like you said! Please Nino don’t take this the wrong way but your philosophy…. dosen’t seem to be working like you said it would! Nino I hope your not upset with me…. I’m just being honest with you!
Actually buddy I’m not upset in the least! As a matter of fact I’m very proud of you! Alright Nino are you trying to be funny again? No buddy that’s past…. that was last week! I believe God has just given me a message…. while you were talking! What’s the message Nino?? Well buddy God and I both agree on what your problem is… and it has absolutely nothing to do with your nutrition! Would you like me to tell you… why you’ve so tired and lacking energy?? Nino you know I do! Ok buddy it seems that your overtraining! I think this needs to be discussed further…. because you definitely have all the known symptoms of a person who’s overtraining!
I definitely don’t want the symptoms to continue….. because I know all to well on what overtraining can do to you both physically and mentally! So in my next blog I’m going to share with you…. my thoughts on overtraining! I’m also going to help you implement a plan….that will end your overtraining symptoms for good! I think it would be in your best interest…. to get out your notepad again!
Nino I’m right with you…. I’m ready to go!!
Great to see that your ambitious about our next discussion!!
We better get started while I have your full attention!!
Here we go!
Well first of all I feel that overtraining is especially common today…. among teenagers who are just starting out like yourself! Let me first say buddy for the record…. I was a teenager once myself and loved to overtrain! So this isn’t really a big shock to me! As a matter of fact it’s all part of the learning process we all go through…. when we first start a workout regime for the very first time! For instance the gym that I train at I’ve seen more and more teenagers even adults…. do way too many sets and exercises in their workouts! If that’s not bad enough…. they workout everyday of the week like you!!
If you absolutely think that people who train like this…. are going to see faster results your wrong! I’ll tell what their doing…. along with you! Their overtraining their muscles so much…. it’s going to be difficult for their muscles to grow and get the proper rest they need to repair themselves! I truly believe this is your main problem…. to your lack of energy and ambition!
Listen buddy don’t get me wrong I’m extremely pleased… that your taking your training seriously! If I recall I remember the time I had to convince you…. not to quit your training! Yep Nino I certainly remember that time! Gee buddy now I’m almost afraid to tell you this….. but stop training so much give your body a break! I know just how were going to do this for you! Believe or not your going to actually see your body start growing…. in your new method of training! Would you like to know the method?? As a matter of fact I use it myself… and I’ve been seeing amazing results by it! Gee Nino you know I do! Nino I definitely don’t want to burn out….. I need to keep up with you!
Well I’m glad to hear that you want to keep up with me! Well in order for that to maybe happen….. this is what I suggest we do! I believe this might be a good time….. to start writing! Ready Nino! Great! First your going to be training each bodypart… once a week! Second your new training schedule is going to be…. two days on then a day off! What this will end up doing for you…. are basically two key things! First it will allow you to stay motivated….. which will keep you from losing your focus and drive! Second and most important that day off in between…. will allow your body the rest it so desperately needs to grow!! There’s a belief that people strongly believe…. that their body grows while working out! Well let me tell you that’s absolutely false! The body actually grows…. when it’s in rest mode!!
Listen buddy your overtraining stops now! If you continue to train in this manner you will burn out…. which will then cause you to stop training all together! I’ve seen it happen to people…. way too often! I certainly don’t want you to fall into that category…. or anyone else for that matter! Gee Nino you don’t have to worry about that…. because I’m starting my new training program right now!! Great buddy!! I promise you this program will keep you focused and growing…. for as long as you go on training! Nino I have no intentions to stop now…. I have to keep up with you!! Hey buddy you never know you might just blow by me now…. without any excuses to stop you!!
