Tell me about it :(
I used to do 4 sets per exercise, 3 exercises per group, 2 groups per day and 5 days per week.
Thats 24 working sets per session and used to walk out pumped like a mofo, like I’ve got the biggest dick in the Southern Hemisphere.
Now I limp out like an old man after 12 sets, fuck this shit!

Or something like.

1. Full body
2. Off
3. Full body
4. Off
5.Upper
6. Lower
7. Off

This way on day 5 and 6 you can add a bit more volume to upper and lower. 4 days per week.

I realise this thread was started way back, however since it's been resurrected, I thought I'll add my own contribution based on past experiences.

Back in September of 2014, I wrote a full article on this particular subject, I called it: Overtraining or under-recovering?

There are certain facts we need to consider here. Prior to the stage we call over training, there are two stages that take place, one on purpose, and one (perhaps) by some miscalculation, stupidity, or both, done by the coach.

As I've alluded to above, there are two stages that precede a state of overtraining, these two stages are called over-reaching, more precisely functional over-reaching, or "FOR" for short (that's the positive stage you want to push your athlete into on certain occasions), and the other being non-functional over-reaching, or NFOR for short, and this particular stage right here, ought to give you a sense of what it is to feel over trained, yet not quite sending you over the edge once all is said and done.

For anyone who's particularly interested in this subject of over-training, please read the full article I wrote (with its link above), and feel free to ask me any question on the subject should you have any.

Thanks.

No such thing as overtraining, only under-eating, under-sleeping and the failure of will

Definatley is a thing. But most people are under recovering rather. As you alluded to.

Definately can overtrain though, even when getting all the little things right. Too much volume too soon will burn you out fast as fuck.

Also as grunt said, most people are undertraining...OR not training correctly (if results have stopped and they think they have stalled). Like all the little stupid ****s who think after 1 year of training they are maxxed and ready for gear. Lol.
