Possibly? I have an obsession with doing total body every day. It's like an OCD thing. But my progress is hella slow & I look like shit & most days summoning the energy to workout is like praying for a miracle & waking up the next day I almost feel hung over. But maybe I am not getting enough protein and it's just cause I am a fatty in recovery? I've been told it will get better the more muscle I put on but I havent been very consistent if I am.being honest.
Literally why splits are so popular dipshit.

Fricking auto reply, was gonna say, total body is killing your progress. Your body can't utilize that much protein & handle that much protein turnover at once. You need to adopt a split routine so you only focus on 1 muscle group a day & the others can recover.
i also do full body every day, but i feel great. i think you need to ease up on the intensity and daily volume or you'll just burn out. you also need variety of exercises. you don't need to bench 2 days in a row, you could do flies one day then bench the next. pull ups one day then pullovers the next. etc etc
Overtraining does exist, I used to go to the gym 5 or 6 times a week and my immune system suffered to the point of getting flu quite often. A guy I talked to also mentioned this happening to him and he's not a dyel by any stretch of imagination.

Yes they are and they happen all the fricking time. Ask any E.R. nurse. Pretty much all of them have had to slice a dude open cause his muscles were seized up.
I've been progressively overloading my racism for many many years. It may seem incremental, and hard to notice day to day, week to week, or even year to year, but when you've hated filthy Black folk since the age of 3 or 4 and now you're in your mid 30s, you can imagine how I'd be pretty fricking racist. So I'd say I'm not overtraining, I've found something that works and continues to work producing small but important gains
I was undertraining, now I get to go to gym more often which is nice.
Added an accessory day just to hit shit like biceps or forearms or back more. Just frick around day.
I used to go AxBxAxB, now I go ACBxACB and still feel fresh for my main workouts and numbers keep going up.
Overtraining is only a problem if you do cardiovascular sport. Heart can only endure so much if you push it too hard. Lifting every day is fine. Just don't hit same muscle groups two days in a row.
Two things are true
1) very few people 'overtrain' if we're being technically correct with the definition of the word
2) It's not that hard to train hard enough that you stunt your own progress because all your recovery resources are used up just getting yourself back to baseline &/or you hit a muscle group again before the growth process has finished
I used to do 10 sets of chest, (including close grip work) every 4 days & literally made no gains for months. Now I literally just do 2-3 sets for chest once every 4-5 days & progressing. Overtraining is unlikely but under recovery is much more likely.
I've been working out every single day for a few months and lately my lifts haven't been progressing and I'm extremely fatigued most of the day. I do cardio daily and lift weights 3x per week. I do 30 min of cardio on lift days and an hour on non-lift days. Am I overtraining?
With that amount no, its probably diet, sleep or hormones. If you are new to working out I wouldn't worry about the hormones since they're probably clapped from inactivity and diet anyways.
Yeah I’m deloading next week. This last week before deload is too hard. I skipped my last set of rows and pull downs last workout and I’m probably going to skip a set of squats tomorrow.
No, I just don't sleep enough.
yes but mostly because of

Overtraining doesn't exist unless you're lifting heavy enough to be in competitions.
Nobody here ever reached such levels, and never will.

plenty of /plg/ posters compete and none of them overtrain

i strongly believe recovery rate for an average natty is low enough to make it nearly impossible to justify anything above ~2 heavy workouts a week
dont care

Only good post ITT.
Yes to the point of needing to take a few days off. My hands were constantly aching but now they feel better
