Are You Overtraining or Undertraining? Simply put, people who are not as trained will make tremendous progress by doing more. It is very difficult for someone to succumb to an overtrained state if they are not putting much stress on their bodies relative to their size. The lack in technique, flexibility, and coordination will limit the athletes from putting a large external load (weight) on their bodies. Adaptation occurs quickly in this phase5. The optimal range for improvement is extremely wide and forgiving, and an athlete will almost always make performance gains with consistent programming..... Anyone who has been around strength training for a while can tell you that progress is not linear. The higher the level of an athlete, the harder it is to make progress5. The limiting factors in this state are the actual strength capacity of the body. This is also consistent from a biological viewpoint. Once your body has adapted to a very high level of stress, it becomes exponentially harder to adapt to anything higher. The amount of stress required to induce change is so great that the window for optimal volume becomes very small.... Full Article from Juggernaut linked in the comments.
