Tired? Need to train? What do I do…?

If you’re tired, best thing to do is to focus on cutting down sets.

For instance, you may decide to do 2 bench presses instead of 3 at maximum weight.

If you train your shoulders with chest you may wish to miss out shoulders and do them the following workout.

Benefits of training this way are

 (a) you do your workout

(b) if you try to do all sets, you will overtrain.  Cutting back on sets allows you not to overtrain and your body will recover quicker…so you’ll be back to the gym quicker to make up for the lost sets.

If you push on when you are tired, you end up overtrained and weaker/less muscle than before – remember YOU BREAK DOWN MUSCLE in the gym.
