I'm still sitting around doing nothing. This is the hardest part of training for me: when I have to stop completely for a while.

To the thoughts of overtraining...can't remember if I posted this when it happened.
Through December I had been lifting in beast mode. I mean, this old man added 30-40# workout weight to his benches. In early January I noticed a sore xiphoid process (the bump at the bottom of your sternum.) I mean, when a cat was sprawled across my chest, it hurt. I did a little research and found out lifting too heavy will cause this.
Who the hell would have thought that could happen?
Go slower on progressive overloading on weights. I'd suggest buying some fractional plates so you can slowly progressive overload.To the thoughts of overtraining...can't remember if I posted this when it happened.

I think my tolerance for discomfort is increasing. The last time I did this workout, I really struggled, but this time I was able to shut off the quit thoughts and grind through it.
