Since I got back last Tuesday afternoon, I've been training with the following since last Wednesday, Friday, this Monday, and today. Is the volume too much? Felt neurally drained this morning.

Numbers do not make any sense.

You should monitor Rate of Perceived Exertion, Rate of Perceived Technique, Rate of Perceived Discomfort at all times.

Ask yourself:
-Does RPE increase even though you are doing the same loading parameters as the previous time?
-Does RPT decrease even though you are doing the same loading parameters as the previous time?
