Overtraining: Myth or Reality?: http://youtu.be/MkGSLICePyE
Anonsome days I train for 2 hrs
other days I don't train for 6 months.
AnonI don't know some days I'll train for 30 minutes only. I don't see it as under training. Always rest about 45 seconds to a minute between sets so it's fast paced high intensity (a real minute not 3minutes 30 seconds like most) and concentrate on the pump and pushing as much blood as I can to the target muscle. Im not there to move weight Im there to break down muscle fibers so going super heavy isn't something I do. Other days I'll train for 45 minutes up to an hour tops and get different exercises in for the specific body part Im training. Once I lose the pump I'm done and I leave. Don't see a point going further if you have broken down your muscle fibers adequately. Keep it simple gentlemen pin, eat, train, eat, eat, pin, eat, rest.
when I am doing high volume high rep training for pumps I can work a muscle group in 30 minutes... I am sure they look at me funny when I leave before 99% of the other people who got there before me.. seems to work just fine for me .. I can maintain my size, work on conditioning in between cycles, and then hit the heavy stuff on cycle.
Over training is real. It was a huge issue when I was natty.
On cycle, the issue isn't muscle recovery. Hell, running tren, I could train legs eod.
The issue is tendon and ligament damage. Just because my biceps crave preacher curls eod, my elbows aren't so keen.
This is actually why I do a different muscle group each day. This way everything gets a break even when I hit 7 days a week. But only usually do 5 when not on.
Mixed views in this thread from guys of a wide age difference.
I will keep my views to myself , but i will say this............ constant central nervous system shock will stop your gains dead in the water.
Train how you want guys idc.... but if you want to become Champions you need to work smarter.
Work smarter not harder... my best gains came (on and off cycle) when I switched to a push'/pull working one muscle group per week.... I got a LOT bigger and a LOT stronger.
Too many people listen to Rich Piana...
Rest and recovery is what makes you grow, not doing bench press every single day.
lmfao cant tell half of these guys that
huh? LOL
A lot of rich piana worshippers.......
PMMA and synthol can do wonders for arm size...lol
don't get me started on what I think about mr. piana
Over training is under eating.
RustyhookerOver training is a myth. Fuel the recovery and keep going. If you're flat worn out, listen to body...rest.
It depends on your goals. If you're training for strength and power, the off days are crucial. Sometimes less is more. I'm stronger on a 3-4 day a week routine. If you're constantly pushing to max, you need time to heal and let the slow twitch fibers form.
Strength isn't always my goal. I straddle the fence between power lifting and building. I'll switch it up and focus awhile on physique. I'll usually do 5 on, one off. I look better during that time, but a couple weeks in and max strength isn't the same. You end up putting more emphasis on the fast twitch with constant contraction and less periods of rest.
I always thought the whole principle was bullshit. I feel great when I'm constantly training. I went camping for a week a couple years ago. I rarely took off days at that point. The second I got back I hit the weights, and added 50 pounds to all the major lifts. 2 weeks into my normal routine, I was harder, but the strength declined some.
It depends on what your "training" means. your body does need time to heal. I do agree that most people under train though. 90% of the people in my gym just fuck around and dont know what they are doing. They will do some shitty curls, then wander over and do some leg extensions, then wander around and do some pulldowns etc.
I'd say about 90% of the people at the gym i used to go to just fuck about to, I'd look around and see just a few similar to myself putting the work in. A city centre gym i used was even worse, most days it was literally just me hitting it.
Overtraining is complete bullshit. Go tell all the greatest athletes that ever lived that they're pushing themselves too hard and they need to dial it back a little or take a few days off.
