Overtraining Is KILLING Your Gains! (How Much Is Too Much?) | Mind Pump TV

In this video, Sal goes over how to properly facilitate recovery for maximum muscle gain. If you overtrain, you are at a potential risk at not making any progress.

When you are working out, you ask your body to burn body fat or build muscle. Once you send that signal, your body strays away from adapting and recovering to build or burn. But, you need to find the right balance with sending this signal and making sure you are not overtraining.

Make sure that you get great sleep when you are training. Poor sleep or lack of sleep compromises your body's ability to recover, burn fat, and build muscle. Place a special emphasis on good, quality sleep. An hour before bed, create a sleep routine. Turn the bright lights off. If you can't do that, you can use blue-blockers, which block the blue light that keeps you up from electronics. Drink warm chamomile tea an hour before bed, it is a natural sleep-aid. Get a cool room, 65 degrees is the best temperature for sleep. Also! Sleep naked! It helps with sleep quality.

How long should you wait between workouts? Advanced people can train at higher intensities more often. Keeping that in mind, more important than frequency is the intensity of training. Hit a body part again if you are feeling sore, but with lower intensity. For most people, this means full-body workouts two to three times a week. (MAPS Anabolic). If you feel great during your workouts, push yourself, but if you don't scale down on the intensity.

Your refrigerator is over training it fell apart @5.58

[lastone]

Didn’t even flinch at the sound of the shelf dropping, that’s a pro right there

Makes so much sense. The most important part of training is the quality of the metabolic rebuild following an induced local punctual muscle inflammation. One can make an analogy with Valter Longo mimicking fasting. The benefits come from the quality of the refeeding that impacts the metabolism. It's all about the voluntarily induced metabolic change.

I train 6 days a week, sometimes up to 1.5 hours per session when I bulk - but I feel great, when I cut I usually feel worse ; I only train 3-5 days a week and feel sluggish most of the time that I have to cut...

I think it varies greatly person to person depending on stress levels, daily work and life of that specific person, etc etc ... more stressors = overtraining more likely to happen, less stressors = more time and positive energy to focus on working out and recovering .

I also sleep 10 hrs every night and it seems to really help when I bulk, when If I’m not training at all I will feel overtired and groggy from 10 hrs sleep .

Just got a pump in the gym, now for the MIND 💪🙌

Sore usually means you haven t built enough work capacity in that muscle. I ve been benching 3x a wk, sqaut 2x or 3x and deadlift 2 or 3x and ohp 1x for several years now and i feel no worse than when i used to do a bro split. Work capacity can be increased over time.

[YairRochon]

I appreciate your efforts! 🙏 I’ve got a question: 🤨 I found these words 😅. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). I’d be grateful for some help. 🙌

[irockbmws]

I d say tons of people are undertraining. They do a bro split and hit a body part once a wk. People can do way more frequency than that. Infact the longer you ve trained, the more necessary increased frequency becomes.

[dontcaretochooseone]

I can't stay away from the gym. That is Only when it's closed like on Sundays😎

[Alex]

So this might be my 2nd time overtraining my Muscles and while I was at the gym I could actually feel when it happened, my work out was harder to do & I felt Fatigued. Will my Muscles go back to normal?

[nightfangs]

Could you do a video about should you train when you have a cold, or recover first then train ?

[yjersey]

How do U manage intensity? More details please

[truthstandsever]

Excellent info! The fridge shelf drop at 5:55 was entertaining. I wish this info was in a video with a subject line about sleep, so many people need to hear this!

Is it bad to walk for 4 hours every morning and then go running

[azsegrxdhtfgvijnkomlewrhtg]

I thought I was overtraining but it turns out I was just lifting heavier than I can handle. If one rep is a hard grinder and the next rep requires over a minute to attempt and is another hard grinder and then you have to rerack the weight in order to get the third rep which is another hard grinder then you're lifting too heavy. Also doing 95% of your one rep max for 15 reps probably isn't good for you. I liked to think I could put 10 more pounds on the bar after every third workout but that's just not realistic.

[filipe_paixao]

2 to 4 times per muscle group?
Should I train legs 3 times a week? 🥵

[CBoer-twgy]
