Don't worry about overtraining.
Virtually no one will ever be able to push themselves hard enough for long enough to actually overtrain properly.

Probably the single biggest tip that changed my training actually came from myself: "Forget what your body type is. Seriously, forget it."
As soon as I stopped thinking: "I'm a whateverthefckiammorph, so I'm skinny and can't gain much muscle or fat and blah blah blah," I started building more muscle and strength (and put on quite a bit of fat in the process, most of which I've now removed and I'm still about 10kg heavier than I was back then), because I allowed myself to build more muscle and strength.

It's something my Bodybuilder Uncle said to me after my Mum died, when I was my heaviest & unhappiest. He came to help me clear out her house & found me sitting cross legged on the floor, clutching her dressing gown & crying like a child.
I said something like "Fuck I need to lose this weight now, I'm not sick anymore & I barely have the breath to even cry, there's no excuse to stay like this"
He looked at me & said "Jojo, you only get one shot at life. Don't waste the pretty, pretty girl"
I can still hear him saying it, every day.
I guess it just means, to me...I was buried, literally & figuratively.
I'm uncovering 'the pretty' and she won't be wasted, ever again

Use compound movements to build overall strength, this carries over to heavier isolation work for better overall results.
This came from a friend who I trained with for a while before he moved back to the states, he's an older guy who powerlifted for more than 20yrs in his youth, now he bodybuilds for health and vitality still using mostly compounds for strength progression and carryover to other lifts.
