I am having trouble determining if I am not giving myself enough time to recover, For the longest time I was push pull legs with 3 on 1 off. On off days I would do core, calves and cardio. I did a show in November and got really lean. Now 4-5 months post show I am doing upper lower so 2 on 1 off training all week. I now have issues in certain muscles and joints. Primarily shoulders and knees.
I am never sore anymore except in my quads post workout. I don’t eat a ton (2500 k) but since the show I have added back in pro inflammatory foods.
My question is what is your Primary factors to know if your not recovering enough.
My desire never wains, my sleep is good and 8 hours, I am on hrt ( test cyp, 2x a week for 180 mg and started gh 2 months 2 ius nightly.) not sure if the gh is causing the inflammation in my joints or not. It dramatically helped my sleep. I have 20 + years of constant weight training. If you need more info from me just ask
Thanks for any info.
