Overtraining?

[Mr.BB]

I have to fight myself to restrain from doing too much exercises/sets, specially during blasts.

Always have better results with short and intense workouts. That is in terms of growth, if you are cutting or prepping things slightly change.

And as you age you'll find that even more productive and muscle sustaining, imho.

Agreed!!
I've been training everyday for years to absolute failure..here and there I would get sick and couldn't train for a few days to a week it started to become more often and I was tired all the time..like BB said I have to fight myself not to stay in the gym to long or go to hard sometimes or to even give myself a few days off here and there but esp at my age it hampers my lifestyle my gains and compromises my immune system it seems..overtraining is real and it definitely gets more pronounced with age imo

I've been training EOD for years and years now and highly recommend it. Best thing I've done to continue to maintain size and even to make some gains. You're mentally and physically fresh for every workout. If you do cardio you've got plenty of off days for it. If not (like me) you have much more time to have a life.

Kel, Iam gonna try that! Iam sitting here now trying to convince myself to stay home..Iam gonna have to figure out other activitys to give me the same feeling I get off weights..I KNOW your right, it's just hard coming to terms with not getting in a daily workout..cardio doesn't give me the same feeling even intense cardio that weights does..

Kel do you still do EOD on blasts?do you train one body part a day on your EOD or do you combine muscle groups?

Yes. My schedule is as follows:

M: Chest, bi's n tri's
W: Legs and calves
F: Back and shoulders

If something occurs where you miss a day it's no big deal, just make it up the following day. Remember, I don't do a lot of volume either, just brief and intense. Example, chest may be six working sets total if not training pure HIT. Quick pace.

Absolutely agree! It can get dangerous on cycle for me because I can start doing personal best weights and then start fudging with form to try and get more.
