How often should you lift?
I'm doing 4 ways a week, upper/lower, but lately I've been pushing it really hard each session and now I can't sleep properly and feel exhausted all the time
Did I overtrain?
How do you know when you're training too much?
>>
You know when bc you post gay stuff on the internet

If you're able to train several days a week, you're not doing it hard enough.
Recovery is key, it's what makes you stronger.

If you split things up, sure. It's about 3 days to recover, 4-5 on the rough end.
Do legs, wait 3-5 days, repeat. Next day, arms, rest 3-5 days etc.
Full body, throw in low weight high rep exercises after the first day.
>>
Once a week usually.
>>
take less caffeine

Depends. I try to go for 6 days a week. I go till failure but sometimes with my labor job I can tell I need an extra rest day and I won't kick myself for taking one.

2-7 days a week.

>How do you know when you're training too much?
Constant soreness, lack of progression/regression of weight and reps, lack of sleep

When you get those symptoms it's usually time for a week long deload to refresh your body.

>How often should you lift?
Depends on your goals and availability. 2x a week is probably on the lower end of what's viable and 12x a week is on the upper end if you're literally pro and train twice a day 6 days a week.

If you're training super high frequency though you shouldn't beat up your body as much in each session. It's more like 2-3 sets 2-3 reps away from failure vs 5-10 sets to and beyond failure
