overtraining

[mad dipz]

I was wondering if anyone had the old thread about when you overtrain, a certain chemical is released in your body that actually decreases muscle production during workouts. I can't remember what the chemical is called, but I'm just trying to figure out if it's released during too much lifting or because of too much cardio. If anyone can help me out with that than thanks a bunch
