getting overboard on overtraining theories

[sean_holland]

I lift 6 out of 7 days a week, but only 1 major muscle group a day, and only for about 35-45 minutes. I have never noticed any over training in my routine.

Hm, but your body needs some time to recover ... you wouldn't realize that you're overtraining until you cut your workouts and do less of something and notice more gains - then you'd notice it...

But the human body will adapt to 'over-training' if you do it for a period of time, however you won't gain as much muscle due to overworking it.
