#16: Why your muscles aren't growing part two: under-training, over-training, and both
from The Dr. Shannon Show · host Dr. Shannon Ritchey, PT, DPT
There is a paradox that isn't well understood in the fitness industry, and it's that overtraining can lead to under-training. This can inhibit you from results from your workouts. When you are chronically inflamed from overtraining, muscles don't receive great input, and muscular results decline.
