Over­train­ing is a result of train­ing too fre­quently and/or too long. Don’t take a micro­scope to the def­i­n­i­tion. Over­train­ing is as sim­ple as that – over­train­ing. It is a result of one of the following:

• Train­ing too fre­quently or in excess.
• Train­ing too long.
• Inad­e­quate recovery.

Main­stream body­build­ing lit­er­a­ture and sci­ence have tra­di­tion­ally focused on the symp­toms rather than on the pre­ven­tion of them. You often read arti­cles on ‘over­train­ing syn­drome’ and ‘planned over­train­ing’. This is unnec­es­sary. If you are in con­trol of the train­ing and recov­ery process, if you train for pre­de­ter­mined peri­ods and recover in pre­de­ter­mined ways, then you don’t need to know any­thing about ‘over­train­ing syn­dromes’! This online mus­cle build­ing course does not talk about ‘over­train­ing syn­dromes’, but teaches advanced recov­ery meth­ods to take charge of your train­ing and accel­er­ate your abil­ity to recu­per­ate and train again.
