Topic of the Week- How Can One Prevent Overtraining?

onslaught said:
Im never going to be that guy who tells others their training is suboptimal or wrong but there is no way an older fella trains compounds more than 4 times a week unless they are lifting girly weights or on the gear.

Sorry @Shrek
@Goosey is on the money when he says less is more but anyone saying more is good better have numbers to back it up.

3 times a week for me seems to be the sweet spot with a low stress regime of heavy compounds (in and out in 30 minutes, 3 times per fortnight per lift) but I pay no attention to recovery, drink too much and enjoy hurting myself at work showing up the young blokes so my lifting suffers. Being stubborn and stupid goes further than broccoli and brown rice.

Per lift?????

I don’t rain lifts.

Im not a PL.
I have not interests in lifts.
I train my body using many different exercises. Not lifts.

A small muscle biceps and calves can be trained 4 days per week, whereas quads which require longer to recover should be trained twice. Etc etc.

Train muscles not lifts unless you want to be a power lifter.
 
That’s awesome Sherk but this topic is how to address overtraining (what is it) not how good you are or aren’t

shrekkie why are you deleting stuff buddy?he was merely pointing out that Cum shot is allowed to post debateable material whereas the rest of us have to mind our ps and qs
 
I have removed many of his questionable posts.
Also, no one has reported anything.
Use the report function.
