Over Training

Are You Working Out Too Much?

One of the reasons people stop training is due to the anxiety caused by muscle soreness.  This usually occurs from the typical practice of undertaking the high volume training programs espoused in popular muscle & fitness magazines...the big mistake most people make is doing too much volume to soon!

Even YOU are probably doing too much volume. So here's what you need to do right now...

Take a look at every exercise, set, & rep in your workout program.

Is it there just to add volume & time to your workout or is it there with purpose, actually getting you closer to your goals?

Remember that training is simply a stimulus being applied to the body with the purpose of getting a specific adaptation.

Bottom line…you should be training to get results, not just to do more exercises and spend a lot of time working out.

If you do that, you'll save time, have less soreness, and maybe even get MORE results by doing less.
