In this AMA, IFBB Pro Evan Centopani breaks down the real meaning of overtraining, explaining that it's more about central nervous system fatigue than sore muscles. He explores how body size, training intensity, nutrition, and sleep all influence recovery—and why larger bodybuilders are especially at risk. Centopani emphasizes the importance of training hard, choosing exercises wisely, and listening to your body to avoid burnout.
