Thank you sir! Competed for over ten years before turning 40 and had one disaster after another. Kept falling into the overtraining trap. Finally switched to training just once per week at about age 35 (squats/deads on Saturday & upper body on Sunday). After about a year of that I finally got over the psychological hurdle of thinking I wasn't getting ENOUGH training and went undefeated for the next 7 years. One PR after another.
To this day I still lift weights just on the weekends. Seven days worth of recovery is incredibly helpful!
One day a week training might not work for everyone, but it sure worked/works for me.
