8 People Most Likely To Overtrain & SLOW DOWN Progress | Mind Pump 2275

[@waldomus]

I’m 20 seconds in to the video and I already know I’m going to get called out

[@mildlyhot1]

Same 😢

[@CptApplestrudl]

acceptance is the first step to improvement

[@deannajsilva]

I read the caption and knew I was on the list!!!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@annikakefli]

Me toooo 😂😂😂

[@chandlerhorton2531]

Literally I've been getting over a cold the past 5 days. I been trying to lose weight and have been so obsessive over counting calories and weight training an hour or more five days a week while in school full time and working part time. I'm so glad I clicked on this video because I really needed this. I'm one of those type A people that keepts trying harder and harder when in reality I need to sit the fuck down.

[@BRAO_art]

This is the type of conversation that really got me into Mind Pump. I got my life back!

[@melissaloupeni]

This episode was perfect timing for me! I was already suspicious that I am overtraining, and this morning I checked Mind Pump to see if there was an episode talking about this exact thing - and here it is! I easily fall into multiple of these categories. I am a new postpartum mum, I became a personal trainer during my maternity leave and have been training clients in the early mornings most days on very little sleep. I want to get my fitness and body back to where I was pre-baby and even better (particularly now that I’m a personal trainer), and I feel like I need to do something for myself after training clients and looking after a toddler all day. I’m also a very disciplined person so my consistency and diet is always on point…however I do feel like I’m starting to spin my wheels, and they may even be starting to fall off. This episode has convinced me to dial back my training, and I am excited to see how this goes for me.

[@mihapirnar8915]

Until my friend introduced me to you i was king of overtraining. Worked out 7 days a week, slept for 4 - 5 hours per night, had strong cravings for junk food etc. Than i watched yohr channel for a year and learned a lot and i look better than ever and most importantly i feel better mentaly. I am totaly different person. I even asked a girl out for a drink. The old me would never do that. I am grateful for knowing this channel.

[@sagarchawla8145]

She did :D

You guys are hands down the most intelligent men in the industry.I have never heard such profound knowledge on the daily in my life!!You guys are literally changing the way I live and think. Thank you so so much. Please don’t ever stop sharing your knowledge. My day isn’t complete without listening to your podcast!!!

[@cesarolivero6137]

I was a cortisol junkie. Thanks to mind pump I have this bad behavior and now i enjoy training and eating :)

[@namiralkilabi]

as 46yrs old, middle eastern with ADHD,+OCPD+Type A personality a strict middle eastern mother, I consider myself very luck to found and got Addicted to your KZbin Channels, this one and the Mind Pump TV which to me one of the greatest channels that offers great education, help, support and insight in sports and life in general. this episode described the last 30 years or more of my life. I totally agree with you guys in this video and with all other videos. can's thank you enough for your help. also, hopefully one day I'll buy your ecdysterone and turkesterone supplement. thank you again and God bless your hearts.

I know that I'm guilty of overtraining right now. I felt like you guys were describing me. As always, you guys are crazy helpful in helping me continually become a better version of myself. Thank you! You guys are the best!

[@andyspastryshop]

I have definitely hit most of these “kinds of stereotypes of people.” Thank you for calling us out and helping people!!!!

[@steph6337]

My 7 year old son passed away last year. 4 months later my husband of 22 years left me. I didn't realize it til hearing this video that I have been obsessed with weight training, as an escape from life. Ive lost 30 pounds and my body composition has changed a lot but I have noticed I'm not reaching my goals. Thank you for addressing this.

[@danielverduzco1889]

Working out to escape. Escape the stress that we may have on a daily basis. Escape the struggles. Escape the hardships. The gym being the place you go to decompress. You are correct. It's easy to overtrain when you workout for those reasons. The old me! Thank you guys for the knowledge! You guys have changed my workout mind set. Appreciate yall!

[@chansegrenz8075]

Love the work you guys put into this show! We’re all very lucky this is free!

[@melissaalexander1042]

Just discovered this channel and trusting the process. 3 weeks in and I feel much better. This is opposite of anything I’ve tried before. Increasing protein was a bit of a learning curve but I think I’ve got it. Was a vegetarian/vegan for 7 years. I’m definitely stronger already. Thank you for info I’ve been missing 💕

[@gunnarkalanideleon8874]

So true, overtraining is under emphasized in fitness. Unfortunately the tough, extreme workouts are the ones that receive a lot of attention and likes on social media. Taking rest days or utilizing “trigger” days is rarely presented as part of general fitness routines

[@justingriffin7127]

Great talk. Over training is something that's always on the back of my mind wondering if that's what I'm doing, or even under training.

[@breyannakessler7032]

The former eating disorder girly to muscle mommy is such a slippery slope. It took me the longest time to understand these concepts. I love this episode. 👏🏼 Will be sharing over and over

[@tammytaylor5944]

I just turned 50 last month and I’ve been watching the show for about 6 months. I’m still figuring all of this out but I’ve lost 40 pounds. Now I want to do the body recomp. I definitely fit into the Type A over-achiever. I’ve hurt myself a few times in the past 6 months, but at the same time I see all these 50 yo women on social media who are ripped and doing pull ups. I’m going to buy MAPS anabolic and start there. Thanks for the show and sharing your knowledge!

[@carolannN9712]

Thank you for the reminder and encouragement! I just bought my 1st MAPS program (bands) to bring novelty to my home workout and take a break from weights while my pulley injury heals. Following your program feels like I am doing waaaaay less, but I am hopeful for the results that follow as I allow my body to recover. Thanks for your messaging! I appreciate you all.

[@julieheadings6729]

Totally type A. I think it's a common trait for Gen X. I am making progress thanks to you guys!

[@NikosDala]

This episode is probably one of the most important anyone can watch! I'm right on the edge of almost all of the categories here, and so probably I'm overtraining as well, im in week 4 of my program and I decided to not add more on the training volume, see how it plays out! Also today was my first P.T. session with a client! I dont have any certifications or college education, neither I got paid 😂 but first time, being with a specific person for their workout. I'm going to pursuit a P.T. Health and Nutrition coach career and with MindPump by my side, I'm pretty sure I'll thrive in this space! So get ready guys, someday, I will be your guest on the show!✊

[@paigewellness]

Each episode never fails to teach me something I hadn’t known before! Love it! Always growing 💪🏼💯

[@lanapowell6618]

I'm just starting this journey and I wish I had found you years ago. Thank you

[@Nicole-gq1tp]

You guys nailed it. This episode was so good

[@chelsearenee8642]

Thank you guys so much for addressing the postpartum mom. Was really encouraging to hear you guys err on the side of grace for us. Major props!!! We need more normality around taking time to “get back”

[@HippityHopity]

I’m one of these 8 people. I’m here to learn how to slow down, train smarter not harder and eat more. BOOM 💥

[@zeroflaw]

I used to work out til failure every exercise every workout.. I plateau hard. I'm 40... using your anabolic program. I'm lifting more comfortable and more weight than in my 20s. You guys are awesome

[@bizquierda]

I'm really motivated to see the podcast! Knowledge+Enterteinment! You guys are hilarious!

[@thebane5822]

I did a 6 day split for 6 weeks, going to failure on the last week. Put myself in the hospital because the valves in my legs veins weren't able to close, causing pooling of blood in my leg and was in the hospital for a week. Over training is real and always incorporate a deload week in your program

[@robino941]

You guys are so funny. I am definitely one of the people most likely to overtrain. I have been learning so much from MindPump! 💚

[@nicholehaynes9124]

I have been called out - as a mixture of some of these..I have to put my ego aside and reassess based on what my body will actually do….thanks for the wake up call

[@BJ-ds9wv]

The less is more was one of the concepts that took me a long time to accept. However once I accepted it, everything changed and I finally started seeing progress.

[@yukilovato6690]

The title & format of this video is a masterpiece of marketing 👏👏 Content is always spot-on, but sometimes too advanced/too dense for some of my friends who have no interest in biology. This was produced in a way to reach my friends with shorter attention spans haha This was so simple and easy to remember. Saving this one to share with everyone who asks me about losing weight. Thanks guys!

[@stephanieteichert5726]

I always thought overtraining is different from under-recovery and with splits it is ok to train like every day. But your explanation with being a cortisol junky is so great and helpful. Thanks sooo much for all your content guys. Finally found somebody to trust with these information❤ and hope to overcome the plateau🙏

[@andydelarosa767]

Thank goodness I identified that I was really overtraining. Ever since I took more of a body builder approach focusing on that contraction on that 4-2-2 I can really feel the difference!

[@EvilMrRogers411]

Ty guys for giving me so much great info to make this long car ride fly by. All caught back up now.

[@LoriLane-434]

Great information. Implementing your information is changing my body and my mindset!

[@tammywilliamskeefer]

I'm definitely guilty of overtraining. I used to run 4-6 miles every morning followed by intense hypertrophy training at the gym. Then I'd go teach yoga. I'm having to take it easy after overtraing my shoulder. Thank you for this video, it was a great listen and something to ponder.

[@MindPumpShow]

Thanks for sharing!

[@satyamcn]

This is life-altering advice, hands down. I clearly fall into this category of 'optimisers'. I can vouch for the cortisol high.

[@Yogafitnez]

What a spot-on episode!!! I am definitely fall in those categories. In fact, I am over trained this moment. It's hard for me to accept my body has been changing since I passed my 45th birthday. As a fitness professional, I did not want to pull my clients and my followers down, try my best to keep up my energy for them. Although I feel pain in my body, I still teach and train. Just like you have mentioned, I feel insecure about my body image. I just can't compete with the younger version of me. I appreciate this topic and all you do, from the bottom of my heart! Jannette Brodersen

[@marieoliphant8305]

Go easy and listen to your body. I’m 60 now. Had multiple surgeries over last 12 years. I just trained through pain. Wish I’d eased up. I’m just starting over now. Competing in my mind with my old, super fit body. The struggle is real. Best wishes.

I started MAPS Anabolic a couple weeks ago and it’s going great. I appreciate all the great content you guys put out!!

[@dangarin580]

Hand up-I’m number 6. It’s hard to admit but yes I am feeling over training issues. When you don’t look how you want it’s hard to pull back. Point taken fellas

[@josephregel1]

I was taught to lift to failure almost every set when I was young, which you have taught us is so wrong. Even knowing better now in my 40s, I still find it hard not to keep doing it. And now I have an injury and can't lift for a while. Hopefully I learn the lesson this time. :) Thanks guys!

[@emarcianoperez1912]

Great content, appreciate yall!

[@darrylcampbell6768]

I'm a person that used to do too much, but you really gotta trust the process and don't over exert. Now my body regularly works after my workouts instead of me barely being able to walk. I've seen amazing positive changes, especially once I upped my calories. I'm gonna start cutting toward the end of March, but being at 2700 cals and still losing a little weight each day even eating the same thing almost all the time is great!

[@bowserxpoop]

I used to do 12-16 working sets per muscle. I now do 2 to 4 working set per muscle per session. I can hit the muscle more frequently and with more intensity. Massive level up.

[@corliasnyman3257]

This is a big mind shift for someone who has always trained hard (consistently) and not necessarily listening to their body. Injuries become more frequent …. And extremely frustrating. Ready to change things up and change the approach to train more effectively and shift the paradigm

[@dmifranco]

Hi guys, I love your show. I have worked out for many years on and off but I’m getting to the point that even with a trainer I don’t see the results I want. I’m not sure if I’m doing the wrong thing or not enough. My last trainer a few weeks ago was a power lifter. I am not a power lifter and sometimes I thought I was lifting too much weight with him. I’m done ✅ with the training for 3 months and I’m still don’t have a good routine. I am tired of wasting my time and money. I’m not overweight I just want to gain more muscle and be lean. I just turned 60 and I’m very active. The only problem I have is that I have insomnia and that’s a real problem for me. I used to workout 6 days per week and now 4 days. Not sure what kind of training I should do since a lot of days I’m exhausted but I still go to the gym. I am also a traveling nurse and I’ll be having an assignment soon. The problem is that I have stopped working out when I am out of town for many reasons. Please Help! I don’t want to stop working out and loose my muscle again.

[@dashboardguru6118]

I love to watch your podcast and enjoy so much and the knowledge you provide us is dense and logical keep going ❤ love from India 🎉 what is a ideal number of days a person should hit gym. I am 38 uear old and working out from past 3 years 6days in a week. 1 hour session daily

[@donnadforbes]

Great content today! I’m a content writer and know the challenge of coming up with interesting new ideas. This is a good one. I do legs/push/pullI 6 days a week and rest on the 7th with walking and elliptical every day and feel it’s too much. I may need a better program. 😊

Your talk on the ex athlete hit hard. So 3 days of lifting and cardio on the other 4 days is too much at 48 years old after 12 years off? Lol. Who knew!

[@dylanforest4296]

The worst part of getting called out like this is remembering being called out last time you guys talked about cortisol junkies

[@ryandeffley7652]

I'm a trainer and ex athlete. So I've got the double whammy. 😂 But my takeaway after 28 years of fitness at 43, is that just because I can still train like a 20 year old, it doesn't mean that I always should.

[@Simon-d8n]

[@ruizerica2001]

I'm slowly letting go of cardio. I used to only be a runner. Now my GYM time outweighs my running days. I still want to run here and there. I need to find a balance because I like racing.

[@johntravis7304]

Down from 500, now 320 pounds Yes the overtrainer is 100% me lol. I had issues sticking with proper eating and consistent workouts But at some point....right around 380 pounds or so. Something just CLICKED and the fitness went CRAZY I started looking forward to the next bootcamp workout and would check it out every night before I slept. I didn't give a shit anymore about my old cravings and fast food started tasting like puke. I only took days off when my family got busy/I had to help a friend. Then around 340 I really got obssesive. I lashed out and got angry when I had to miss a workout day. I borderline almost threw out family cooked meals that they kept eating in front me. I buckled down. Extremely hard. I dropped from 330 to 316 in 14 days. Every day was a record now lowest weight. My birthday happened in that set of days and everyone was cheering me on. I can't explain to you how hard it was for me to stop but if I think if I didn't I would have just collapsed. I hit 316 and the weight didnt' budge for 3 days. On the 4th day I was so out of it instead of being 2-3 min late for bootcamp class (EXACTLY LIKE SAL SAID IN VIDEO) I was like 15 min late and just told myself fuck it and went back to bed. Stay strong friends. Have the strength to be kind enough to yourself, AND smart enough to not waste your efforts. PS - my strength did waver near the end. Kettlebell clean/press of 28k became undoable, forget trying to PR 32ks. 24ks even hurt like a #@)*

[@deborahguerra1870]

New listener here and so glad I found you all! My question is just how many days should one train to get the best results? I’m 5’6”, 61 years old . My journey began in 2015 and was 286 lbs and lost 115 lbs in 13 months. Diet and exercise. Trying to get leaner and participate in Orangetheory from 4-5 times a week ( power walk on treadmill) and 1-2 days strength there. Then CrossFit 3 times a week. I haven’t been able to get where I’d like and keep fluctuating 5-7 lbs. my calories range from 1200’s to 1325. I weigh 170 lbs . Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

[@kimmerroberts2637]

I am definitely an over trainer I identify as many of these 8 Collegiate Swimmer and water polo player Recently Separated High level athlete Competitor NO Gi BJJ Use Exercise Drug I do it for mental health and for the high. I have been an athlete my whole life and now at 56 I’m retired and using Brazilian Jiujitsu ,No Gi, wrestling and striking-kick boxing as therapy. I easily loose muscle mass and gain body fat within several days. I need a better weight training program that works with my MMA training. I am unfortunately always beat up sore and exhausted from Training daily. It’s very hard to be motivated to lift weights because of the exhaustion and then I loose motivation to lift.

[@MindPumpShow]

[@overratedfool6900]

I came in thinking a lot of this would relate to me. It took 29 minutes of watching before anything really did and then it was me nail on the head. Now I think calling myself an ex "high" level athlete would be pushing it a little, but I swam most days of the week when I was in school and then did almost nothing until my 30s. At first I followed a very simple full body split. It was supposed to be 3 days a week but I could only recover from 1-2, so that's all I did. I think it was 6 exercises, 3 sets of each. Simple. Basic. Sensible, right? I thought so. I assumed I couldn't recover from workouts as often as I was supposed to be because I had bad recovery genetics. The actual problem though was that I would train every set to at least failure. The squats, I would be resting at the top at the back end of the set to push out more reps. I didn't even know this was considered beyond failure, I'd never resistance trained before in my life. The RDLs would give me short headaches after most sets. Even if the programme had specified to not train to failure (which it didn't), I don't think I'd have listened because that's boring and not what I knew. About four months in I injured my left quad. I just woke up one morning and my knee wouldn't bend. It was like that for about a week. It took about 2 months to be able to lightly train lower body movements again at least another 4 months after that before my leg felt close to back to normal again. I ignored most forms of pain and I tried as hard as I could, because I know what types of pain can be ignored and I knew nothing but how to train flat out. The programme's volume and frequency might appear very modest, but if it's aimed at an insecure teenager who sucks at sports there isn't an obvious reason to inform these people to not go too hard, because they simply aren't able. If a moron in his 30s who's barely done any exercise for the last half of his life, but who played loads of sports to a decent level as a kid gets a hold of it, he'll find a way to hurt himself on even the most sensible looking of programmes. I don't even mind. Morons like me will only learn from hurting themselves anyway lol. I lie, we never learn.
