One way to find out
The guys at Westside train anywhere up to 14 sessions a week and many will do their ME/DE work in the morning then GPP/restoration that evening and also the following day
If no extra volume is added you will find the overall stress will be the same. He may even find it helps him recover better due to less stress in a single session and extra recovery time inbetween.
Personally i would split the movements up. Ie bench and squat am then rows etc PM. But as you stated you may miss the night sessions so missing the assistance is a better option in that regard.
Of course you can train with more intensity if you split your workout in two AM/PM session rater than one long session. You would be coming back for the second workout feeling fresh as.
The volume is only for juicers thing is bunk too the human body is no different to a machine keep it fuelled and rested and it will perform. The harder you work it the better it will respond.
Time is the killer, wish I could get into my gym twice a day but I have this thing called a life that gets in the way.
On the flip side brick, the higher the intensity, the more recovery time needed.
And why on earth you'd want to be in the gym twice a day is beyond me.
I love working out my dream job would be PT and train between clients but I'm a money hungry fucker and couldn't live on that shit. Could easily do a 5 day split broken into AM/PM sessions a muscle each session if your goal was to be huge that would be the best way to do it. I'm not a big advocate of it because with busy life career and all the other shit I gotta train smart with my time but hell yeah would love to just live in the gym all the time like I did when I was younger before wife/career etc etc.
The reality for the op though will end up been two half arsed rushed sessions.
Kono blamed the decline in American lifting on an influx of foreign coaches. “They brought in the European idea of training five or six days a week, twice a day,” he said. “Instead of being athletes, they became like workers. Rather than improving, they started getting injuries and overtraining. Even the South American countries started passing us up.”
I would love to see a Oly weightlifter win gold on 3-4 times a week lifting these days.
America struggling in Olympic lifting. The blokes that have the drive and the genetics to be top O lifters are all taken up by the NFL. Why would anyone give up multi million dollar contacts in NFL for O lifting where they would most likely have to pay their own way to get by in the sport.
