You can if you don't every day. I recently started 2 a days myself but only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I workout twice a day those three days but for no longer than an hour (usually like 45 minutes) each session and with a good 10hrs or so between sessions. So take a guy who goes to the gym 6 days a week. He works out 6 times a week and has only one off day to fully recuperate. Well I get the same 6 workout sessions in a weeks time but with four days to recuperate instead of one. Same volume but 4x more recuperation time.

i wish i had the time/energy/money to train twice a day, sometimes there is a muscle group i want to hit another time during the week but i just cant work it into my schedule. especially when im coming early for fasted cardio

"Your right. I'm a fool for thinking I could get a few honest opinions on 2 a day training for this thread."

I actually think that you got some pretty sound replies from the guys here - especially Irish and Dom (who - in case you missed it, was actually very supportive). You are the one who said "Let me have it" - so take what you get without whining.

Maybe you didn't read the comments in the right frame of mind. So, I will waste my time like everyone else and give my opinion. I was natural from age 27 to about 55. I trained 6 days a week for years and after a while saw no further growth/development. During my late 30's I tried the 2 x daily workout x 5 days a week. I again saw no developmental growth. I looked my best at age 42 working out 1 x 5-6 days a week. Diet, aerobics and training was spot on. IMO 2 x daily, unless you are running a lot of gear doesn't actually make you grow any faster. In some ways it can cause over-training which will set you back through muscle 'burnout' and injury.

But hey - do what you want...if you don't want answers - don't ask questions.

Should be periodised. Same as everything else

I did 2x a day based on the Arnold system but I was taking some prohoromones and different supplements like that as well as eating like a freaking fiend, I wouldn't suggest a 2x a day program for anything other than an unnatural bulk cycle, and even then you'll have to manipulate your diet to fill the extra calories your body will crave. If you're trying to cut, avoid it, there are better ways to do it, but diet diet diet my friend is always the key.

Not a fan when bulking. In my opinion you would have better luck training once per day and maximizing sleep and food. I find I grow best if I can get a 2-hour nap everyday and 8 hours of sleep at night

Awesome way to train IF done properly. Blindly doing 2x/d workouts without knowing the science on how to do it will just screw you up in the long run and set you back. Looks like I might have to do a post on this.

Pros are your fresher on the second part. I do splits four days out of six. By the time I do my major part , calves and abs my intensity and energy are gone.

Hello Sir,

We would need to have some more information about you Sir before suggesting anything, first of all your statistics and goals. If you have never been training before, we would suggest to hit the gym 3 times a week for a full body workout, if you have won your local bodybuilding or powerlifting competition, that's different story. Two weight resistance workouts can be beneficial or can be counterproductive depending on your goals.
In regards to food supplements ( if that's what you mean), considering your circumstances save that money and buy something nice for your wife. Local grocery shop will fully cover your nutritional needs whether you're a beginner or advanced athlete.
Hope this helps.

Regards

I feel like just based on the three threads he has posted, two of which have aggressive doses/cycles in them, we probably should see a pic to see what he's working with.

Nick, if you are 33, how long have you been training? Whats your bf? You left it blank. Also, been off for two years as well, was it injury or choice? Its going too be tough on your joints going through the kind of volume being on cycle puts you through if you haven't been training for the past two years.

Let’s start with a pic and see where you’re at. I wouldn’t recommend someone start doing 2 a days unless they’re already at a very high level of performance physique wise and they have all the necessary food and supplements in place.

With anabolics and hgh you can train 2 times a day 5 days a week

What are your goals.
