I used to train like that too.. For hours.. I went 40+ days in a row before.. And those were long brutal sessions.. It's a road to get injured sadly. That's how I ran into a shoulder injury. You just have to find your sweet spot.. I went from 4-5 hour sessions to about two.. I still go 6-7 days a week but a day off every once in a while. Just gotta find a sweet spot
Thanks Evan. You and Building are both wise men. I'm listening to both of ya.
Whether I like it or not I'll be cutting my leg sessions down to about 2 to 2 and a half hours in the weeks to come once school starts lol.
My legs respond best to total annihilation one day a week, and I am sore into the next week. That's what I love about hitting one body part each day. Just bludgeon the muscles and let em heal for the next 6 or 7 days!
Listen, there's a point of diminishing returns. As much as I admire your work capacity, you have to listen to your body because its better in the long run.
It's one thing to have intensity and its another to push unnecessarily.
Not trying to lecture, just trying to keep you from getting hurt.
Well said, you can kill yourself ocasionally, especially if you're in the mood for it (like I love killing myself at the gym when I'm really pissed off about something), but it's a marathon, not a sprint, aim for longevity and quality work, not quantity (heavier sets, lower volume). That being said your work capacity is insane, I could never do what you do haha.
I have asthma but I've always wanted to join the Army. I wanna do infantry and be an officer. If any of that works out I'd have to go to Ranger school. I gotta be a mean motherfucker to do that. Idk I feel like it's a mental workout in its truest sense as well as physical. Makes ya tougher. I go in there knowing what's ahead of me and I'm fucking scared sometimes. Really! It's helping me train myself to be tough mentally and face my fears!
Shit I forgot to tell you boys I started my epi cycle Saturday. I can tell it's giving me faster recovery. Not near as sore as I shoulda been after yesterday.
No strength gains obviously too soon. I'm more vascular and hornier than anything oh my god. I can't see a womanly figure for more than 5 seconds without getting turned the fuck on lol
