OK 6 days is a bit much, and...you do a billion sets a day! I i counted right 59 sets on monday for example! More isn't always better. Cut it in half...and then cut that in half again! This is very far from optimal, you just body your body and give it no chance to recover.

BigBen · 02-09-2006, 05:25 PM

YOUR OVER TRAINING! I thought that post was a joke at first. Your trying to do everth8ing all in one day bro, you need to decide what u want right now mass or are u going to cut. Pic exercises that fit what u want to do bro i would stick to like 15 sets max for bog body pars and 12 for small ones. Just my opinion tho.

lithium_09 · 02-09-2006, 06:30 PM

sounds like arnold did this post! unless you're on all the shit he was i suggest you scale back on the volume. even being on all the junk arnold was he still was overtraining, and he admits it

MaKaVeLi · 02-09-2006, 06:48 PM

yep, for the 3rd time in this thread I'ma say your Overtraining! Just curious as to how long you've been working out for and if your on the juice?? A normal person should spend 90 mins MAX in a gym otherwise you could end up doing the opposite of what you've intended to do in the first place and that is burning muscle for energy!

tim290280 · 02-09-2006, 07:55 PM

3 hrs of training!!!!!! Does that include the 45mins of cardio???!!

Where do you find the time to be in a gym that long?

Why would you want to spend that long in a gym each day?

Do you have a life?

You seriously need to get a life!!

MexicanMuscle · 02-09-2006, 10:36 PM

look guys i am not on any steroids and yes i work out for 3 hours and do all those sets, but that is the only way i feel i am working my muscles corectly and i dont feel overtrained, i have been doing this specific workout for about 3 months and i think it is goodm but i might be wrong, and by the way i do have a life man, i just shift my days and work in my 3 hour workout, and yes on leg days the 45 minute workout is included in the 3 hours!

robcardu · 02-10-2006, 12:24 AM

OMFG....3 hours work out!!!!! hijo de la chingada wey!!!! that´s too much bud and yes you´re overtraining,unless you are Ronnie Coleman from Chapultepe you´re working out too much and too long!
2 days on and 1 off ,would b alright,90 min max and you will see how you grow como la hierva!!!

Logan Muxlow · 02-10-2006, 01:31 AM

If that is the way you feel you are using your muscles correctly then you are really missing the point of gym work.

Lift Heavy or Go Home!

If you are really lifting heavy (not compared to others, compared to your 1 rep max) then there is no way that you could productively train for 3 hours.

Now if this was manual labour or you were a professional athlete I could understand. But you are obviously obsessed with your gym and spending as much time as possible in the gym. Train smart not hard, quality over quanity.

Oh and congrats on having a life, you must not have a job then!

front_row · 02-10-2006, 03:02 AM

I gotta agree on the overtraining. You say you don't feel like your really working with less sets - how long do you rest between sets? Maybe you'd feel the burn quicker with shorter rest times and not need as many sets for the same pump?

MaKaVeLi · 02-10-2006, 06:29 AM

To be honest you don't seem very interested or knowledgable in BBing as you're just ignoring every bit of advice from everyone who's posted in this thread... you're not gonna go very far working out for 3 hours at a time due to the fact that testosterone levels dramatically decrease after just 60 mins and after 120 mins you're in real danger of catabolism which is the opposite of what you've intended to do. So go do some reading before you try and justify you're 3 hour bogus workouts...
