⚠️ Persistent Aches & Injuries – Nagging pains? Your muscles & joints need rest.
⚠️ Poor Sleep Quality – Overtraining can spike cortisol, making deep sleep harder.
⚠️ Irritability & Low Motivation – Mental burnout is a sign your nervous system is overloaded.

Listen to your body! Recovery is just as important as training. Have you ever experienced overtraining? Let me know below! ⬇️

Power vs. Endurance – Which One Are You Training For? 💪🔥

Your rep range matters when it comes to your fitness goals!

🏋️‍♂️ Low Reps, Heavy Weight (1-6 reps) → Focuses on power, increasing muscle mass and neuromuscular efficiency. Ideal for those wanting to build raw power. You need to strong before you train for power.

🔥 High Reps, Lighter Weight (15 + reps) → Builds muscular endurance, helping your muscles work for longer under tension. Perfect for improving stamina, toning, and enhancing overall endurance.

Both have their place in a well-balanced training programme!

Which one do you focus on? Let me know below! 👇
