Breakdown
Pretty straight forward. Weights going down is obviously not preferred, but with the amount of mileage being put in, it is not unexpected. Improvement goes hand in hand with recovery and that can become hard unless you’re being really strict and even then, fatigue can send in. Remember that long-term success is not about a workout it’s about the long-term process.
