The guys break down six weird signs you're overtraining — the ones most people miss until it's too late. Beyond the obvious soreness and fatigue, they cover broken sleep, increased cravings for comfort foods, irritability, low libido, low mood, and repeated injury.

They also cover why fitness fanatics are actually more at risk than beginners, how hormones like testosterone drop when you push too hard, and why a scheduled week off can produce 29% better strength gains than training straight through.
