is a drop in weight a sign of overeraching/overtraining? Last Friday i had a great workout, felt very fast on the track and hit PRs on my squat. I weighed 196. Now all this week i feel slow and not as strong in teh weightroom, time for a maintenance phase?
Most probably you are recovering from last week…
The following might also help:
"It is possible, however, to monitor the success of peaking and the following symptoms should help in this regard
During the speed-training sessions, the body no longer needs to be forced through the session. Rather the body “surges forward at its own will” and “thirsts to accelerate”
In the hour following training, the runner feels supreme vigour, quite unlike the normal post-exercise feelings of mild fatigue
Everyday physical activities, such as climbing stairs, become easier
The runner becomes increasingly sensitive to everyday situations and is mildly irritable as the body is “prepared for action and is ready for the fight” and
As the body becomes flooded with previously latent energy, a heightened sexual awareness is often evident."
Hope it helps!
