Ow
Started German Volume Training protocol last week (building up to 10 x 10 working sets of lifts, plus assisted pullups as I cannot do 10 x 10 regular ones).
Results so far: for the first few days I had a lot of energy! Feeling good! Amazing how after about 4 sets the lifts actually get easier! (This is due to my CNS becoming accustomed to the movement).
Next few days: Hm, too much energy maybe. Can’t sleep and no appetite. Is this overtraining? Purposeful overreaching?
Today: OK, I slept. Now I want to continue sleeping for 14 more hours.
For those who care--I don’t do RDL sets like this for now but instead use trap bar held by the low handles, like Ben Bruno recommends.
I’m also still running during this, ~20 miles per week as usual. Mostly slow to recover.
