When Mike Mentzer said overtraining was not just something sort of negative and that it takes sometimes weeks to recover, you better believe it is the truth.... I have seen it in the gym and with my phone clients... although they don't like to hear it and usually not until we go through a thorough phone coaching session their negative results so far can usually be linked to overtraining, not high intensity stimulus... but not resting long enough to allow the increase to occur after high intensity training.
You have to check your logic here... become emotionally unattached...because if you think clearly about it, you stated that RIGHT NOW...you are the strongest and most muscular you have ever been and you have been training in high intensity fashion. IF you continue to train within a specific spectrum of rest, and I find this very often...you are going to lose the battle. WHY? Because your strength can increase some 300% while your recover ability may increase only 50%! If you do the numbers you will see the seesaw tilting to one side. The only way you can compensate for the affect of growing larger and stronger is taking more rest time.
