WTF Is Overtraining?

Yeah OK Mr know-it all, I might have underestimated the impact the lack of sleep would have on me.

Although to be honest, I'd probably still be going in every morning at 5.30 but my girlfriend is pressuring me to stay at home until 7 to help get my daughter ready for school
 
OK, I’d best post some training

I missed a set of RDL’s today but there’s a good reason. This morning I wasn’t paying attention while walking to work and stepped off a large kerb I didn’t know was there and it sent a painful jolt up my back. It died down so thought I’d be OK but on rep 8 of my 2nd set of RDL’s I got a sharp pain in the right side of my lower back so stopped at the end of that set


Training started of in frustrating fashion as I had to wait to use the squat rack behind a guy who insisted on reading the paper between sets of ultra light squats with his feet more or less touching. He must have had rest periods of about 4-5 minutes between sets

Woodchoppers
2x10@ 121 – well within myself but didn’t want to push myself too hard before heavy squats

Pull up iso hold – 30 seconds (again just wasting time)

Squats
2x3@ 380
6x 352
10x 330

Split Squats
1x10 @ 220lbs

I then realised I was supposed to be doing lunges, doh, so switched to them

Lunges
2x10@ 123

RDL’s
2x10@ 220 – got the twinge so stopped

I felt good after this, I weighed in at 228 again and hadn’t eaten much prior to training so felt good about that
 
When I finish shaking I’ll post training details. DB snatches really screw me up, they’re evil :D

While you wait though, read this, it’ll have the girls checking their bras before putting them on and the guys very envious of the bat. Apparently she’s a 34FF, what I want to know is why is a girl with 34FF boobs wearing a padded bra?
 
Push Up Iso Holds
X4

Supine Row Iso Holds
X4

DB Snatches
3x10 @ 55 (lowered rep range again to fit them into lunch break)

DB High Pulls
3x10 @ 55

Supermans
X4

DB snatches really knock me out, I could go to bed right now
 
Haha, funny story you linked to, and a very valid question you brought up...

Gotta get some simple carbs and 'tein up in ya so you don't pass out!
 
I have a bit of a weird situation, there’s a girl at work that I really fancy. That might not seem weird to some of you but I’ve always been used to working with really unattractive women so I’m not used to being around a fit looking girl all day.

I’m not being dumb, I’m obviously not going to try and take this anywhere as I’m happy with my girlfriend but short of knocking one out at work every hour, how do you get a fit woman out of your mind so you can concentrate on work?

TELL ME ABOUT IT, I am in the exact same situation! This one likes me though and if I was single I would be as keen as a bean. Everyone at work is going on about the fact that she likes me, I love my partner and would go to the end of the earth for it so it isnt an option.

I will definately be keen for an answer on this as well haha.
 
Well I was in the same situation about 5 years back when me and my girlfriend were having a tricky patch (gf left me but then wanted me back). That time though I persued it and ended up having a thing with a girl at work for about 6 months. I'd recommend never getting involved with someone at work, it screws you up mentally, especially if there's someone else involved
 
I know what you mean, theres quite a few fit lasses at my work. Iv been with the receptionist as in kisses but thats it. I just wait for the 'works night out' that we have and i get pissed then i make a move on someone.

But yea the lass at my work is 30! and she i think was looking for a relationship but i said no because its weird at work. Shes a good mate now.

C, all i can say is knock one out, or think of this girl when your f**king your gf.
 
No AM training today as promised but there’s a good reason, I’m playing in a softball game after work but I have a couple of hours to kill between finishing work and palying the game so I’m going to train at lunch and again after work so I’ll still get both sessions in today
 
I had a bit of a disaster yesterday. I played it that company game of rounders in Regents Park and all was going well, and then I tripped running past third base, slipped, and pulled my groin. I also ripped both sides of my jeans from the crotch to about halfway down my legs, I looked like Christina Aguilera in the Dirty video

Anyway, I now have a groin strain, aching hip and painfull lower back

I know a groin strain should be left about 3 weeks before running on it again but would squats and deads be OK?
 
omg that chick. that bottom pic is so awesome, something about it, an energy, so to speak :D

You know, Rich, you just gave me a mental image of you dancing like Christina Aguilera in that dirty video.. can you get it out? please? I'm dying over here..
