Training Log: Entry 732

2 updates. I haven't felt like updating recently, which I think is part of my overtraining.

RE upper

DB press w/95
19,6,5

2-board press of 225
3x5

Miniband lateral raises
2x15, 2x13

Lat pulldowns
2x10x160*
160x10
140x10
120x10

DBPCs of 20
2x15

EZ bar curls drop sets
100,80,50




ME upper

Squats of 315
2x10

Rack pulls of 315
7,3,3

45 degree hyperextensions w/average band
10,8,6

Saxon side bends w/30
4,3


I have some theories I came up with on what's going on.

Cause of overtraining:
Hitting a weight PR on two movements within the same week
Increased conditioning
Decreased food intake
Irregular sleep schedule



Potential solutions:
Deload
Decreased training frequency
Increased food intake
Regular sleep



Preventative measures:
Only 1 weight PR per week at most





Training Notes:
Frequent singles are unnecessary for progress. 3-5x3-5 generates great progress and volume with low frequency for failure.
