"There's no such thing as overtraining, just undereating and under-resting."

Lumberg, I bet there is very little risk of you doing any of those 3 things.

False. Run a marathon everyday and get back to me. Case closed.

Running a marathon and squat 500 lbs for a few reps are two entirely different things. Its much more difficult to overtrain with weight training than cardio. For people using at least low doses of aas, with PROPER nutrition (alot of the diets I see people post on this board are not proper diets..and are pretty bad) and a lot of rest there is no reason they cannot train each body part 5 times a week and make faster gains as a result of the higher frquincy training.

I don't see ANYWHERE in this thread where he specifically mentions any specific type of training. Practicing for a marathon is training as well.

Anyway, lets look at your example. And lets apply it to the question at hand:

If you were working out with weights, for 3 or 4, or even 8 hours a day. With perfect diet and proper sleep, do you think you would be overtraining?

I would believe it all depends on the type of training you are doing and if you are natural or you supplement with AAS. I strength train and know from experience you can overtrain.

Ok, I see your point, however what this topic USUALLYis refering to is much less extreme. With that advent of HIT training, hitting a body part once a week became very popular, when all of the scientific research suggests that not only is a much higher frequincy of training usually not overtraining, it actaully yields faster gains. I'm not advocating weight training 8 hours a day 7 days a week for optimal gains, however if that person limited their other researches to recovery, one could do this without overtraining, yes. With a perfect diet, 10-12 hours of sleep a day, possibly a little extra help from drugs, this could be done without overtraining for an extended period of time, and ther person could see gains in size and strength, and would probably find it very easy to remain fairly lean year round.
