Q: I have been getting stronger, but my joints hurt and I am feeling lethargic in the gym. I do not want to stop training. What do you suggest I do?
A: When you are making progress, it is natural to want to keep training hard, but multiple injuries or a general run-down feeling are signs that you may be starting to over train. By taking a “deloading” period, you can continue to train and make progress without making things worse. Cut the load you are lifting by at least 10% and do not take your sets anywhere near failure. Slowly work your way back up.
