How to Modify Workouts During Overtraining
- Modify your workout by lowering intensity, reducing volume, or adding rest days if feeling overtrained.
- Tailor the modification based on your typical training style and indicators like sleep disturbances or soreness.
Boost Gains With Volume First
- When feeling good and rested, increase workout volume gradually before intensity.
- Adding volume is safer and more sustainable than jumping intensity, which risks injury or burnout.
Manage Joint Pain With Mobility
- For nagging joint pain, cut exercise volume and replace that with joint-focused mobility work.
- Do mobility exercises at the start of your workout to improve stability and exercise technique.
