You have to learn to be patient as far as bodybuilding is concerned, and you need to decipher the signs of overtraining. When you over train your body will not experience a good feeling. The moment you get the horrible feeling which comes due to overtraining then I promise you that you will strive not to experience the same feeling again. A bodybuilder will experience when they over train because the nervous system is usually weakened when it experiences very high levels of stress beyond its handling capacity. This will in turn have the adverse effect of slowing down the recovery process. However you need no yourself too much because this effect is only short lived. You should not mistake the feelings of overtraining with the sensation you get when the muscles are growing.
If for example you experienced the pains of overtraining the previous workout session, you should not strive to realize the same pain the following day.

However you need to first try and access whether the fatigue is chronic enough to go for medical counseling. You should not assume injuries because they could be muscle tears which usually arise as a result of overtraining. The next step involves taking a diet which is very rich in proteins. Proteins are very useful in helping the recovery process of muscle tissues. The only way you can be able to up the recovery process so that you can go back to the gym is through eating right.
