Reply With QuoteWhen I get fried I like to just take a week and lay back. Maybe keep up with some light body exercises such as pushups, etc. If you feel you're overdoing it, stop for a week before you get hurt.
A perfect example, for the past week I have been feeling overworked and sore in a different kind of way. Yesterday I was doing military presses and on my 5th rep my shoulder dislocated, causing me to drop the full bar right on my lap. Now I sit here in pain, my left arm almost unmovable. I'm sure this will set me back.
Just letting you know my experience, so this doesn't happen to you too.

Fried
Had to fag out of an ME bench day last night and go back to 6-8 rep work to make it through. When a 5RM max hurts like a 1RM and you get 3 reps it's time to shut it down for the week IMO. I also had elbow pain which is new.
When you guys are fried, what do you do? Take a week off, work DE type days, do some hypertrophy work (what I had in mind).
Damn things were going good this month too! Funny thing is that in the past I would have hit it hard again Wednedsay to "break through"...thank god to knowledge.

I don't train hard, eat right, and do the things I do for others. I do it for myself.

I tend to take a week off every 2-3 months regardless. I may or may not do a little cardio or light lifting during this time. If i was feeling injured however, I wouldn't do any lifting for this week.
