I suspect that I'm overtrained. I've been doing heavy weights at low reps with long rest times for pretty much the whole year. I've taken a few different weeks off here and there, but I kind of feel tired all the time and have a low libido. I was thinking about taking a four-week break away from weightlifting. For Weeks 1 and 2, I thought about doing a 30-minute walk on the treadmill and a 10-minute stretch or foam roll. Then, in Weeks 3 and 4, I would continue with the walks but start a 3-day band routine. After Week 4, I would slowly go back into my weightlifting routine. Is this a solid plan?
What do you think about this workout routine for incorporating variations in the same week: Monday: Full body, big compounds, heavy weight, low reps Wednesday: Full body, plyometrics + sled work + arms/shoulders isolations Friday: Full body, big compounds, moderate weight, high reps. The intensity is always very high, while observing clean execution. On the “off” days, I am running 1 day, doing yoga 1 day, and walking every day. The idea is to have a holistic, sustainable routine that gives me a balance between strength, growth, mobility/flexibility, and agility. I know my progress in any of these areas will be much slower if I don't focus on only one goal, but I am patient.
I lift full body on Mondays and Fridays. On Wednesdays, I do a 10-minute HIIT workout on the cardio rowing machine (20 seconds high intensity, 40 seconds rest). Is this a good routine?
