Overtrained, overreached, or neither???

For a few weeks I saw a great decrease in my performance, also felt burned out, which I kinda did on purpose the last five days of my 6 month workout. I know lifting a lot puts a lot of stress on the cns and recovering from overtraining can take weeks, months and even year,  and that it takes weeks to overtrain. so I'm not asking, what is over training I did my research on that. I'm asking does it appear that I overtrained overreached or neither? Here my workouts that I did after reaching my pb jumping height. On my rest days I sometimes play basketball, and I play hard, and also do rim touches at max effort, sometimes. So if I did overtrain what should I do as far as recovery,or just continue to rest as I am

This is a tough one to swallow for most... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS OVERTRAINING!!! if you can't do something you are not in good enough shape. Here is a story:

IF you got a job as a garbage man (or run a jackhammer, or some other physically demanding job) and had to pick up heavy cans all day long, I'm sure the first day would be very difficult - possibly almost impossible for some to complete so what do you do? take 3 days off and possibly lose your job? NO! you would take your sore, beaten self to work the next day. You would mope around and be fatigued - much less energetic than the previous day, but you would make yourself get through it. Get home, soak in the tub, take aspirin, etc. The next day would be worse..etc. etc. Eventually you will be running down the street tossing cans around and joking with your coworkers. How did this happen? You forced your body to adapt to the job at hand! IF you cant' squat everyday, lift heavy everyday then you are not OVERTRAINED, you are UNDERTRAINED!

Could a random person off the street come to the gym with you and do your exact workout? probably not - cause they are undertrained. Same goes with most when compared to elite athletes.

Quote
HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN OVERTRAINING, ONLY UNDERTRAINING. OVERTRAINING IS PART OF THE ADAPTATION TOWARDS BEING AWESOMELY STRONG. HE REFERS TO WHAT OTHERS CALL OVERTRAINING AS THE "DARK TIME" WHEN YOUR STRENGTH GOES DOWN AND YOU FEEL LIKE SHIT. TO HIM, THERE'S LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, AND WHEN YOU START MAKING PRS IN A COMPLETELY FATIGUED STATE, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE.

Quote
IF YOU'RE TIRED, TRAIN. IF YOU HURT, TRAIN. IF YOU HAVE FREE TIME, TRAIN. IF YOU'RE INJURED, GO TO THE ER. IF YOU'RE NOT INJURED, TRAIN.

Quote
MORE VOLUME = MORE ADAPTATION. TRAIN MORE.

THERE WILL NEVER BE A DAY WHEN YOU WALK IN THE GYM AND CAN'T LIFT THE BAR. IF IT'S ONE OF THOSE DAYS, LIFT THE BAR... A LOT.

EVERY TIME YOU TRAIN THAT'S A +. EVERY DAY YOU DON'T TRAIN, THAT'S A -.

Thanks. I would think you know what your talking about. Now I'm pissed that I wasted days not training because I thought I was over training and the last day of my 5 days of lifting I got a pr on my half squats at 220lbs.  :pissed:.

I thought I was over-training while doing smolov jr. But I was hitting PR's while fatigued. Then when I rested up I tested my max. Shot up 80lbs in 9 weeks.

Eat more and sleep more. You don't have to hit non-fatigued PR's. Just focus on hitting fatigued PR's. They will eventually catch up to your all-time PR's. Surpass those by a good amount. Then when it's time to rest up and test a PR you're physically/mentally ready for, you'll be shitting bricks of joy!

This.

I think you did good to take a week off , but no more, the line between detraining and rest is not very clear.
Just get back to your template and do what guys here say.
Lift heavy + eat good/clean + sleep enough = win
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?
