How do you know if you're over-training? What exactly is it? Does this even happen if you keep up with the calories?

Overtraining is in large part a meme. It's a real thing but its been twisted so much by stupid bro-scientists. You'll know you've overtrained when you're struggling to complete your regular routine, feel super tired/sluggish, and dont have the strength you usually have. Personally I would just try to push through your workout if this happens to you, you might feel better the next day. If it persists you could take a day off OR just deload and lift a bit lighter.

If you still get sore from workouts the last thing you need to do is take a day off....

No.

Middle left right desu

middle is like a 10 fuccccc

You're most likely not. Your average nerd who lifts for 45 minutes isn't even close to overtraining

patrician taste buds

Left and right. Blondes are garbage most of the time.

thank you brother, i pride myself on detecting prime aesthetics

blind and retarded, face alone blond wins big time

>blind and retarded, face alone blond wins big time
YAAAAAAAS

SLAY him m'lord SLAAAAAY

Usually if I can't recover within a reasonable time frame for my next workout. If I can't squat for 4 days after a good leg workout, I think I wen't too hard.

Sure my muscles are rebuilding during those 4 days. But I could have done that process twice over instead of once. Otherwise I think you'll generally know if you've trained too hard and it's somewhat difficult to achieve so you shouldn't be too worried.

Yall trippin right? One look and I can tell left is for dating, middle is for fucking, and right is for exorcising

I just do as much as I can every time. I don’t have a routine. Is this bad lol??

2>1>3

Diversity is our strength.

Blonde > Brunette > Redhead

Nothing against redheads, it's just that her face isn't as good as the others.

Right > left > middle

middle is literally a coke junkie, she doesn't look like that pic in real life. But right does

Not bad, but it is recommended to have some measuring system. Just count how many times you do an exercise. That way you can see if you are managing to hold or you are regressing.

right > rest
middle looks like my cousins just in blonde

Left right middle
Blondes age like milk

Doesn't matter. Cope

The ginger looks absolutely subhuman next to those other girls.

The brunette is objectively superior

>how many reps is the sweetspot
It's not about reps, it's about sets per week.
Try a dozen for benches and squats (counting all variations you use), half that for ohp, like 14-15 for deads+other posterior chain intensive stuff, squats don't count, and 14-15 back stuff like chin ups or rows.
Since you asked, most sets should stay in the 6-10 reps zone, BUT a few sets (like 2-3 for bench) should be in the 3-5 and a few in the 12-15.

Dark hair + light eyes is peak aesthetics.

There's a couple biometrics for telling if you're overtrained. Generally if you are over-trained your grip strength will be noticeably weaker than normal, and your heart rate will be higher than normal when you wake up.

You'll get better at knowing how much you can handle and whether you should take a day off to do nothing or just some cardio.

Everyone is different, but if you have no idea where you're at in terms of how much volume you can handle, take a look at this
renaissanceperiodization.com/hypertrophy-training-guide-central-hub/

There are some good guidelines for intensity, volume and frequency for each muscle group on those articles.
He has a good youtube series on these articles too if you don't feel like reading.

When your body starts falling apart (small cuts not healing etc) thats when you should take a little break

>user, what are you doing? Why are you cutting your self?
>Just checking to see if i am training to much

your muscles only grow up to 48hrs after a workkout

terrible advice

>being a faggot

Wasting time doing unnecessary sets is not overtraining

say please

You start losing strength instead of gaining it. I've noticed it mostly with my grip and forearms sores. Also instead of doing more reps on some machine, you end up doing less even with lower weight. There are other symptoms outside gym too. It's not all about calories.

I fucked my legs up by overtraining. This was from before I went to the gym but did a lot of running, athletics and football. My legs (most specifically quads) became permanently exhausted, I couldn't jog 10m without them feeling completely drained despitr previously being very fit. At its worst I would get up in the morning and just fall to the floor as my legs wouldn't hold me up. Took about 5 years for them to get back to normal, though it does sometimes crop back up a bit.
