Right guys, looking for someone with a lot of knowledge with this kinda stuff.
Anyway, my problem is that I do weight training for rugby Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. These training days are broken down into:
Monday - legs and Shoulders
Tuesday - Chest and Back
Thursday - same as Monday
Friday - same as Tuesday
I only train the main muscle groups and I do only compound exercises.
1. Do you think I'm overtraining as I also have rugby training on Tuesday and Thursday?
2. The main problem I'm having is with leg day, after doing squats I struggle to run at training on the Tuesday and Thursday because Mg lower back is really tight, is this lower back tightness meant to happen after squats? Am I doing it incorrectly? Or am I not giving my back enough support? I.e. time to invest in a belt?
If I'm overtraining, would training each of the main body parts once a week be sufficient or would I not be doing enough?
All advice and help welcome!
Cheers
Craig
