    Well undertraining is when you dont do enough to stimulate growth. Overtraing is whenyou dont let your body rest and it hurts your CNS and you get sick and dont grow

    I find it hard to determine that for myself so I just work the hell out of each muscle once a week on the same day. Some muscles I feel like I could only take a couple day break but I haven't messed with it too much.

    Exactly, but what I think it really comes down to is under RECOVERY.

    I think you can train your ass off, as long as you are getting adequate nutrition on a steady basis. I think people who feel they are over training, are often under nourishing themselves to an extent.

    Definite over training IMO, would be anything more than 2 days in a row, any body part worked more than 1-2 X a week on a good routine or some crazy amount of volume.
