I wouldn't mind betting that as you're doing a log that subconsciously you're doing more than you realise.

If I were you I'd either take a week off or if you really can't face doing that drastically reduce your weights and sets for a week. You'll come back raring to go both mentally and physically and it wont halt your progress. It'll almost certainly kick start it.

Purely by coincidence I've just read a quote by Jay Cutler who said 'a week off training, followed by a few weeks of less than full effort training should enable your body to make better progress over the long term.'

I suppose it really depends how far into your training cycle you are as to how much rest you need but I think its fair to say the balls to the wall training can only work for so long.

I definitely found over the years that the occasional short break worked for me. That was as a natural but I still think the same principle applies.

One sign of overtraining is a lack of interest btw

yeah i see i have had to motivate myself to go as also lost strengh at a time where it should be rocketing so ego deflated aswell

and been at it solid for as long as can remember now alwas pushing maybe little light week or few days off may do good maybe do week with 2 days full bodys of compounds as do go 5 days a week and have done for some time now

Honestly mate, you're showing all the symptoms of over training. Lack of progress and lack of motivation being the top two. Keep going like this and you'll lose muscle and get fat. I can almost guarantee that after a week you'll be itching to go again and if you start to feel the same again fairly soon you'll need a bit more time off.

You've made great progress in the last few years. Its not going to suddenly disappear after a week off.

Try it and tell me I'm talking out of my arse if it doesn't help 😊
