Training twice a day?

[Mr.BB]

Training twice a day is fine if you go there just to look at gurls.

If you have any intensity in your workout is kinda impossible.

So true. . . lmao


I use to do the morning rush, then the after work rush - the after work classes have the best asses

Got to disagree with you. And although I'm sure you weren't trying to be negative, it can come of as being offensive to those who you don't know how they workout.

Looking at your statement "kinda impossible". How exactly? I've been making a point of asking some of the "beasts" at the gym if they favor 1x/wk vs. 2x/wk workouts. The answer is predominantly 2x/wk so you have to work multiple body-parts in a workout. So why would it be kinda impossible to have just thrashed your back intensely and be frayed to the point of shutting down, so you don't do biceps half-assed?

Speaking of asses Samson. Most of the girls with the best asses at my gym are in fact there 2x/day. You'll find them @ the power-racks, squatting and deadlifting

Just my opinion Prox, dont take it so seriously

Kinda impossible cause 1. your muscles will be sored 2. Your CNS will get fried and will not be able to lift the weights, and have the intensity, you would if the CNS was rested.

If you want to go to the gym and hang out its fine, just dont occupy the machines with endless sets resting 5 minutes (or more) in between while browsing facebook, some guys go there just to train.

You grow in the kitchen and resting, not in the gym.

This is where I think your physiology is flawed however. First off the whole CNS thing is overblown, and honestly, I have not found satisfactory documentation discussing this, except short term. What I mean is that the nervous system runs on ATP and that ATP recovers in a matter of minutes, which is why you see longer rest between sets when doing plyometrics or pure max strength training. Yes, if you are going at it hard, sweating profusely, then electrolytes play a role. However, this confirms what I am saying about 2x/day. If you are mentally fatigued (call it CNS if you will, I'm not buying it), you go home, refuel, maybe nap, then hit the gym a second time.

Here is where I more than agree with you. I've made a couple of enemies in the gym when I've gone up to someone whose clearly just sitting there and with a bit of a glare ask them if they ever are going to be done with the equipment - because I've just knocked off 2 other exercises waiting for the damn thing

Always a pleasure Mr. BB, hope all is well with you! Love your avatars by the way - they must squat plenty!

Have nothing scientific for you, just my own experience, maybe im different. Cannot really nap through the day, wish I could

I don't think he meant impossible literally but rather just not effective or efficient way of gains due to the thresholds of ones mental or physical endurance. Sure you can do two a days but for example I was so driven ( still am) I couldn't get enough of the gym or the park to run or ruck.
After an intense gym session I would still be craving more training like its my friking job or I'm addicted in a healthy way.
But I had to reason and tell myself that considering time in a day, good sleep, daily diet intake that it was best to rest up, rather keep going and going wether I wanted to or could.
Some things in life are just written unofficially in stone, and I say that one can do what they want. But I didn't want to spread my fuel out to more then that targeted area for the day wether I was down or not because of optimizing my gains..
Keep in mind personally it's easier to say that the hardest part of doing something is actually getting up and doing it aside from contemplating. And just to let you know, love when I'm sweating, dirty, physically/ mentally grinding it out, I feel most alive then... Nothing more gratifying then going beyond any limits. But even with that I must recognize things that just "are"

PS: I guess the fact that some muscle will be pre exhausted from the prior workout that when training the 2nd time that day it will act as an " intensity increaser" them stabilizer muscle or secondary muscles involved in a compound lift will be worn out and put more stress on the direct muscle being trained. So yeah in a way it will help in ways like that. But it comes down to is it worth the extra fuel, stress, time etc..
