You aren’t overtraining…It’s a myth…
are you saying that it is impossible to overtrain. If i made you do TBT workouts and you work out seven days a week with twenty plus sets per workout and each set you went to failure and you only take in ur RMR in calories and only sleep three hours a night and you have a stressful 8 to 5 job…
that you could work out like this and you wont overtrain in like two weeks? Im sorry overtraining is not a myth. You CAN work in high volume but many things have to be taken into consideration. but overtraining is not a myth
Just stating my opinion. I think it is a bunch of crap and don’t believe in it at all. Period. I worked 45-50 hour weeks while getting a masters degree, hitting the gym 6 times a week, with about 5 hours a night sleep and a junkfood diet for 2 years and never once felt “overtrained”.
I made gains. I guess I don’t choose to impose that as a limit in my life. Others who want to, please feel free![/quote]
Oh so like my opinion is that I should be an nfl player. Does that make me an nfl player? Or are you like that agency that appeared in the news lately. They vehemently deny that the holocaust ever happened and that those concentration camps where jews were cooked alive never existed. That is their opinion. Does it make it a fact. No.
So you are saying that there are absolutely no limits to human adaptation and recovery? right try your thesis. cut off ur finger and see if it grows back. Oh and if it doesn’t then maybe you need more frequency so your body can adapt right? start cutting off another finger every day and see if ur body adapts to this new stimuli and grows em back.
Now I do think that the body can handle this just like all those olympic people u say but it takes time, proper recovery and nutrition. Also those olympic athletes are the crem de la crem of human genetics. i mean come on they are in the friggin olympics. they have trained for their event for years and years in order to get to the top. Of course they can handle those loads.
PLus all that frequency is movement specific. They put all that super frequency on the movement they are doing. (sorry i don’t know enough about the olympics to elaborate more eloquently)
Also, just because something works for you, do you think everyone else should do it too? I mean every single human on the face of the planet is different than the next. maybe it worked for you just like some people respond better to TBT than split routines. Don’t tell other people to do what you do because it worked for you. tell them to do that because it will work for THEM.
Im done ranting. L8rz
