    biceps - low volume 12-16 sets
    High volume 16-20 sets

    I really like doing 16 sets on biceps, other wise I don't notice sh*t. Of course biceps in my routine have their own day. 12 sets doesn't feel like I did anything. I usually do 2 barbell exercises with 6-8 rep range and 2 db exercises with 10-12 rep range.

    overtraining is not eating enough, its fairly simple.

    Overtraining and undereating are completely different phenomena.

    You can stuff your face with CHO and PRO after a leg routine and make sure the eating aspect of recovery is all set and done, but this does NOT mean your muscles are ready for another leg exercise the next day, as a matter of fact.

    Overtraining simply refers to training a muscle group before it has fully recovered, regardless of what may be the reason for lack of recovery.

    No need to sweat this well-established notion by trying to bring in a rather eccentric approach.
