Maybe I should add some other possible answer to the question:
Is over training misunderstood?
Is over training used as an excuse for poor training programs?

I absolutely do agree that we're all different. Having said that, the consumption of fewer calories than calorie expenditure = weight loss is true for everyone. I'm not sure what you mean when you mention weak frame, poorly digestive system and sluggish system, can you elaborate a bit? People's metabolic rate does vary a bit, but I think your example is a bit extreme! For most people, it's easier to adapt their diet and consume less calorie dense food (you did with beer and bread, for example), rather than exercise the energy off; simply because nowadays, you can get an awful lot of calories in a very little amount of food, that would take a good few hours to burn off. If you prefer to have a higher caloric intake and a monster training regime, then great, but I do think 10-15 hours a week is probably more than the average martial artist (never mind Joe Public) is prepared to do. We've gone a bit off track, haven't we?  P.S. I'm pretty sure that almost anyone at all could eat exactly what I eat and do the exercise I do and lose weight. So there.  |

TMD - If you've not already read it, Dan John's Easy Strength is well worth studying.

I personaly think that the body does need time to recover. The muscle need to be replenished with minerals vitamins and rest to rebuild themselves. If you sleep at night and have a good rest then that helps.
You need to eat healthy and you need the fuel to replace everything you have burnt.
I reckon you need a day off training and a light day of training a week.
You also need to start off slowly and work your way up. You just can't jump into the deep end and train everyday hours on hours.
The only person who can tell how your body feels is you. If your run down take some time off to recover and then continue. Slow and steady gains are better over the long run I feel.

Yeah I saw that one Wullie. Not all Crossfit gyms are like that but I have seen that mentality with the people that go to a few around here.

On overtraining, it seems everybody agrees. One other thing to worry about, or not, is exercise-induced arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Basically, some folks respond to intense exercise by developing a bad ticker. Go figure.

It responds well to the right amount of exercise, but gets ruined by too much.  Gary |
