training intensity x stress x sleep - i overtrained for 3 months

signs i ignored: resting HR creeping up, HRV crashing, sleep fragmentation, zero motivation. i thought it was life stress. it was 5x/wk heavy lifting + work + not sleeping. deloaded 2 weeks, walks only, slept 8+, and i came back stronger than my previous peak. overtraining is real. rest is training.
