Is This What "Overtraining" Looks Like?

Some might need 12 sets. Some might do god on 15 sets. But the fact remains the same - as high as 20, but closer to the side of 10. You do 31 set twice a week.

Well when you say it like that
I’ll revisit my methods and improve rep quality/intensity.

Technically you have to get stronger EVERY workout. Its just that realisticly its hard to track such small incriments,

A technique I first discovered upon reading about DOGGCRAPP was “chasing the logbook” where it’s about increasing the total weight lifted every session i.e lifting 200lbs 10 times is 2000lbs lifted. I typically just try to chase my previous weights - or at least increase reps, but lately i’ve been stagnant… I think it’s fair to say that having too many sets is a likely contributor though. I guess its’ time to get back to it, but with less volume and more weight

yes, progress is the best way to measure if you are training good enough…
not progressing and training hard 99% of the time would mean you are going too hard or too much/long…
its better to do 10 sets and progress every week for 1 rep, than to do 30 sets and not progress at all for 3 weeks.
