Over training question

[SSAlexSS]

are you crazy Alex? working a musclegroup three times a week? even on juice dont see how this can be done.

Well it CAN BE DONE.

You just have to realise that if you dont go to failure than you can train MORE often. And eventually push yourself really hard on each workout.

I was crazy that I have trained so little before.


contrary to popular beleif Your muscles dont need much recovery time.


Low volume was invnted by some money freaks who wanted more average people to get involved.

I mean most people cant do 6 days per week double split training. 12 workouts is a pain in the bum. So smart marketing people come up with more convinent methods.


You see we live in a world that is not run by few cultish rebels who want to get as big as possible. No, the market is mostly for your average joe, that wants to workout yet he doesnt want to really workout.


We severelly underestimate what our bodies are capable off.

If you a a big overtraining freak, you WILL GET OVERTRAINED. Appraoch things with POSITIVE approach!

For once Alex does have a certain point, however going heavy all time 3 times a week would be impossible for most people to maintain for more than 1-2 weeks without decreasing in strength.

However this method can work, if you remember to vary your workload and intensity on a weekly basis. It is also concentrated loading, a very advanced method, which also works for the drugfree trainer.

Lower back needing 96 hours for recovery, try telling that to the guys at Westside Barbell Club...

Yeh its great to use periodisation, something that I will have to employ soon.

First workout is 100% next workout is unloading workout at 60% then third workout (on friday or sat) is also small.

Mini periodization can work miracles for muscles strength and size.

SSAlex.. can you expand on the periodization? is there a sample week/month lying around on the net?

To tell you the truth, YOU need to figure out your own periodisation. Everyone is different (to an extend. Your job might be more stressful than mine, or you might have more free time for example) and so you need to take that into consideration.


Periodisation should be during the WEEK, not the month. Peridiosation during the weak minimizes possibility of overtraining BUT increases the results

Workout 1: 30 x 12, 35 x 12, 40 x 12
Workout 2: 30 x 8, 35 x 8, 40 x 8
Workout 3: 30 x 10, 40 x 10, 45 x 10


that is a good example of periodisation for 3 times per week bodypart building.
