I know the graph shows the numbers, but I'm interested in your experience with what percentage drop worked best for you.
The charting is done with no method to the madness, thats just how it worked out. At each point that I considered myself overtraining, I had probably dropped 10lbs maybe 20 at the very most on my bench. Not even close to the 10 percent mark which is suggested to be overreaching. That would have made it about 30 to 35 lbs
