Great pump. Solid workout. Had a lot of fun on this day.
 
What do you think will happen if I continue doing this? Lol. Serious question though.

You're chances of injuring yourself from pattern overload and overtraining is skyrocketing. You have like 40 sets of just chest/shoulder movements in one workout :stoneface:
 
with that much volume it’s gonna be pretty easy to over train. better make sure your recovery in on point. as mentioned earlier, calorie intake should be pretty high
 
I feel good. Normal. I guess im just use to it because it’s how I’ve been training for a while now.

I’ll dial back a little on the volume though next week and see how it plays out. Thanks for the advice.
 
Overtraining is a myth, under recovering is real thing.

You will start to get some tendonitis and things like that though.
Really? So cortisol levels rising due to fatigue, brought on by too high of an intensity while training is a myth?

Just go harder in less sets and keep your rest and diet on point. Save yourself a ton of time.

I highly doubt his cortisol levels are rising to that point because with that much volume the intensity cant be high.

If he's getting adequate sleep and eating right then he probably feels fine the next day and can go right back at it, the only thing I've experienced from pushing it is things like tendonitis like I mentioned.

It depends on how de conditioned he actually is before starting this program, correct? While training, cortisol levels rise due to exercise induced stress. To the extent that this may happen, depends on the level of conditioning of each athlete, right?!

Yeah I feel great. Ill be back tomorrow. If I feel anything I’ll dial back on the volume. But like I said, I’m no beginner. I’ve just been slacking for the past 2 years. I always trained like this though.
 
Overtraining and under recovering are both VERY real :lol:

Some of the effects are what’s bro science. Also, the amount being called “over training” is different from person to person.
 
im at 1.5-2 hours but thats w/ cardio and abs

thats where i'm at, except i need to start doing abs every day. i typically do 8-10 movements and 15-20 min of cardio.

also, got my wrist wraps in today. pretty excited for push.
