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? I'm also eating in a deficit but keeping my protein around 180 to 200 grams. I weigh 230 pounds, and my target weight is 180 pounds.
Did Andrew Huberman and Andy Galpin discuss repetitions, set frequency, and rest periods for hypertrophy in the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: Optimize Your Training Program for Fitness & Longevity | Huberman Lab Guest Series and the clip Optimizing Workout Schedules? Additionally, did they discuss the Training Recovery Insights, including Andy Galpin explaining that over the course of a week you need to aim for 15-20 working sets of each muscle group, and that to reduce time, you could complete 5 sets of weighted squats in one session and repeat that on two other days?
