The term "overtraining" implies that the participant is exercising excessively hard, for too long, and with not enough recovery time between preparation sessions to let enough body regeneration and healing - this in time leads to fatigue, poor results, injury and eventually dropping out of their wellness system.
One of the most prevalent injuries that can come about in the overtrained weight trainer is that of chronic shoulder pain - particularly suppose the participant is in their initial 12 to 18 months of training.

- Withstand the temptation to conduct your weight training on uninterrupted days ( even assuming you are on a split routine ) - there is a lot of advantage to be had from pursuing a simple complete body weight training system done on say Monday - Wednesday - Friday.
- Suppose you perform eventually go to a split routine then a cool place to commence is with the classic " Push /Pull " split of Chest/Shoulders/Triceps in Session A ( the pushing day) and Legs/ Back/ Biceps in Session B ( the pulling day) - but still only perform this routine on non consecutive days.
