Hi Behemoth, welcome to the gym! First off just to note, I am still very new at this as well. Only been doing pe "seriously and constant" for 1.5 months. When I first started I noticed lots of bruising and poped looking blood vessesles on my glands "the tip of your member" and some spotting threw the shaft. This was a PI that I was possibly over training at such an early stage. But, if you gradually work your way up to harder exercises and higher intensity, the spotting and bruising should go away almost all together. Hope this little bit of information helps.
The easiest way I know if Im over training or not is just like how I workout. I just listen to my body. When I do Back / Biceps....when I finish up back and moving on to biceps I notice that sometimes I dont need to do that extra exercise cause my biceps are already broken down and fatiged. Your member should be the same way, and always pay attention to PI's. These indicators have lead the members of this forum and many others to their gains, and I keep that in my mind as I train as well. I cant remember who said it on this forum, but i believe it was along the lines of "PE is not a race, and slow and steady wins the race". And when I think about it, same goes for bodybuilding. Took me a very long time and dedication to get the body that I have now, and looknig back it took a very long time and lots of sweat in the gym. So listen to your body, it will guide you in the right direction ^^ |
