Lesson Overview

2.32 – Overtraining vs Under-Recovering (They Are Not the Same): Many people think they are overtraining when the real issue is poor recovery habits. Training stress alone rarely causes problems if food, sleep, and rest are handled well. Under-recovering happens when workouts pile up without enough fuel or rest to repair the body. This can lead to stalled strength, poor sleep, and constant soreness. People often respond by pushing harder, which makes the problem worse. Recovery includes calories, hydration, sleep quality, and stress management, not just days off. If nutrition stays low, even a deload week may not fix fatigue. Under-recovery also affects motivation and focus, making workouts feel heavier than they should. Learning the difference helps lifters adjust the right variable instead of guessing. Sometimes the solution is more food, not less training. Other times it is more sleep, not more supplements. Understanding recovery keeps progress moving and prevents unnecessary burnout.
