Since I am having so much fun with all these little "essays" I reopened this thread to talk about the whole "overtraining" thing. Quite frankly, I'm sick of the term because it is so overused and is becoming an excuse for everything from inadequate intensity, volume, frequency...everything.

In order to actually reach a state of chronic overtraining you'd have to ignore various and obvious signs from your body for a LOOONG time. In other words you'd start to overreach, keep overreaching, and continue overreaching while the symptoms of that keep mounting up, intensifying and invading every area of your life. If you do that you're an idiot and you have a problem. It's probably not gonna happen to many.

So in case any of us newbs are influenced by the beginning of this post let me just reiterate what has been said before on this forum to great effect:

Go in the gym and lift some heavy ass weights as often as possible and as Sleeper is fond of saying, let the chips fall where they may.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
