Overtraining Question

[baseline_9]

According to Arnold no, the muscle is okay to work as long as you give it the nutrients and rest it needs, DOMS is not a result of inadequate rest. Now in the real world there is some truth behind this but then again you CAN overtrain if you do not know your body well enough. I suggest working every muscle group once a week in the beginning and see how you recover before you start working them more than once.

Ok im going to disagree with the oart u say about training each bodypart once per week.

As a beginner or someone starting up again I would rather advise training each body part 2-3 times per week but with much less intensity.

WHY - Because when your a beginner you cannot train with great intensity because you do not have the skill. You need to build up basic motor skills in key movements before you can really push the intensity.

Also training each bodypart more than one time per week gives the trainee more opportunities to practice new learnt skills

This is good^^

No such thing as overtraining, only undereating. This is something I've heard many a time.

I will absouloutly disagree with this

If your muscle is damaged as long as you are eating enough food and protein, stuffing extra food in you will not speed up muscle recovery

agree, except for less intensity, I would say less volume.

Something I've heard many times that "undereating/overtraining...." , I was not stating it as a fact, it's not as simple as that, true....but most beginners don't get enough food. Capish?

This is a great post, i think the biggest mistake most beginners have is going with the typical Muscle and Fiction 5 day split. As far as working out when sore, google "active recovery" it can make a big difference.
