    Am I overtraining?

    Hi Guys

    Just wanted to ask if I am doing too much as I know this can be detrimental.
    I am training for bulk.
    Lets take pecs for example, I will start off with bench press doing 3 sets of 6 or maybe 8 if I go into psycho mode. Then I'll do inclined and then declined the same. I am going to failure on the last set. Is this a good thing or should things be more controlled.

    Any thouhgts?

    Sounds typical. . .
    9-12 sets "usually" isn't overtraining if everything else is in check, sleep/nutrition.
    Always use controlled movements. . .

    I love that one...

    But I do believe in overtraining... The body need to reconstruct himselft on rest days. and I think that workout should never go over 1 hour.

    Being said.. You pec workout sounds good.

    I'll stick with my statement still. I'm 52 years old train 6 days a week (no longer then a hr per workout) and still believe there's no such thing as overtraining but just underEATING
