How to tell if you're overtraining (and what to do about it):
– Watch for elevated resting heart rate 3-5+ consecutive days
– Track HRV, it's more sensitive to training overload than resting heart rate
– Loss of motivation to train is itself a warning sign
– Never react to a single bad day, look for trends of 5+ days
– If hypertrophy is the goal, don't skip, drop to 6/10 RPE and reduce range of motion
– Light volume still counts: 3 sets of 10 at 50% keeps you on track and aids recovery
