    So many people say that huge volume workouts are stupid and it’s garbage training. I might not use as heavy as weight when I use more volume but man I tell you I blow up with the volume. I stay more full and gain size! Even natural this training has always worked for me. Numbers on the bar may not always be very high but who cares about the weight numbers. We are bodybuilders… not weight lifters. Weight will come over time even with the volume training.

    100% spot on . a young lad in my gym 17yrs old LOOKS from the back like hes on something , trains hard , impressive . After speaking with him he tells me he trained from 14yrs old , eats right , sleeps good , trains until the job is done ! This kid is on creatine and beta-alanine + food , nothing more until hes at least 20 he said . Ive used steroids , and they help but without the rest of the "ingrediants " muscle isnt growing . i dont beleive in overtraining just poor structure of diet and training / rest

    Big thanks to Mr. Priest and IFBB for putting this up. If you were in sports in the 80's-early 90's, this is the same mentality we were taught, train twice a day, eat, sleep, take you vitamins and repeat. Simple formula, and get the hell off ya phone at the gym...Thanks LP!!!

      He is talking from a massive steroids user with great genetics perspective, but anyone who thinks about it for a while knows that there is such a thing as overtraining. It doesn't make any sense for the average lifter to train for instance 6 days a week, 2 hours a session.

  • @RedfishCarolina
    @RedfishCarolina 5 месяцев назад +1

    Here's my observation as a novice lifter (ie, not a bodybuilder or powerlifter).
    Overtraining is not a real risk. Mental Stress, shit diet, and lack of sleep is the real risk.
    I've had so many times where I can lift 6 days straight and be great. Life is good, I'm sleeping well, eating well, having fun with my family, good times at work.
    As soon as life gets hard, work goes to hell, family drama, depression, overdue bill, shit diet, etc, suddenly I "feel" over trained. I can't get more than 2 days straight without feeling like by CNS is wrecked and I want to jump off a cliff (no that's not exaggerating or making light of it, I'm being honest).
    I really think our bodies can handle TITANIC amounts of physical stress and physical exertion as long as we can keep our minds clean, free of unnecessary stress, eat clean, avoid sugar and garbage refined oils, and get PLENTY OF SLEEP.
    Mental stress is a gains killer.

When you love what you do and have never given up, with what you love doing, mostly become successful...as you know with bodybuilding, it then comes down to genetics and desire to be the best you can be...the desire to win, some times at all costs, is what's the difference between being first and second...

    I’m glad you talked about the cardio. I don’t know why people think that doing good walks or even a little bit of a run that they are going to lose muscle. The ones that believe that don’t have muscle at all. Like you said, you have to get your nutrition in the proper supplements and then the main thing you gotta eat so that intake of food you have to do extra to burn fat. Those kind of people they’ll ask you the same question and then run to somebody else and ask until they find someone that they can agree with on not to do cardio

    It's not really overtraining that's the problem as most never do enough to really overtrain. It's undertraining that’s the real enemy for the lack of gains, that and a poor structured diet. People are looking for that magical shortcut so they can have more time to be lazy. That's why HIT has flared up again recently although it's quickly dying off as it always does due to the lack of gains from that flawed system. Hit is for the lazy and those that don't really want to commit to being serious about changing their bodies. It's hard work especially if not genetically blessed. You have to do more in the gym, not less. I see these hit cultists in the gym and they really do look like they don’t even lift. Undertraining the muscle is the real culprit in the lack of gains these days.

    I’ve done it all, 3 days a week, 5 days a week, 3 days in a row, break, 3 days in a row(6 days a week), all with properly organizing my routine, so the proper body parts rest, yet others worked. Now I’m doing 2 days a week, every Tuesday and Saturday(it’s a 3 workout rotation). It’s all worked. Listen to your body, and I do agree the body is capable of adapting, cause I’ve done 3hr workouts, and 45 minute workouts(It still all works). Your body adapts to what you are asking it to do. There’s trade offs to everything, but I do find, because I go to the gym less, I give it all those workouts, cause it’s my only chance for 4 days. The trade off tho, is because I’m in the gym less, more likely to go drink(so I switched from beer to Tito’s) which helped.
    I think the key is, do whatever it is you’ll be consistent with, and getting results.

    Lee, not everyone has a $100,000 car, changing a tyre might not be a great career choice.

    I tell you in a blink of an eye if someone is on gear or not. Doing sports for 39 and pumping for 31 years now. For me it is easy to see. Only sometimes it is hard to tell when those guy do diff. sports and take very little. But that is very very rare.

    I agree 100% with Lee. Water, food, sleep, supplementation. You do those things and you can train every day balls to the wall
