training 7 days a week

[binö]

So taboo i know, i'm overtraining!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@
seriously though, i love it...i can shorten each session up to about 35-40 mins.
don't have to go all out and crush myself every sess, cause i know in a few days i'll be hitting the same bodypart up again.
plus it keeps my head in the game and gets me up early everyday...yea some days i feel overtrained and weak but mostly i kill it every AM.
any thoughs on this?

Jesus that is a lot of lifting! I was just going to mention how often olympic lifters trained. They have a little assistance though, don't they? I think more volume equals more hypertrophy as long as it is done properly. I lift 4 days a week, but do pushups and other pt work almost every day, +running 3-4 days a week.

maybe taking a week off every 5-6 weeks would be a good idea? Or whenever you feel necessary. Whatever works works

couple yrs ago i attempted the smolov squat routine.
lasted about 3 weeks, squatting that many times a week faded me big time.

If its working keep at it, i would recommend at least a week off after 6-8 weeks to give your body some good rest time.

Example: do say a killer workout monday followed by a light workout on tuesday and a medium workout on wednesday, then do a single exercise to death (like squats or push press) on Thursday with a big cardio session, then on friday do a moderate workout, Sat a light workout, then a killer on Sunday, and start the next week light....

What I do is more complicated in that I also do whole body workouts each day, but also change the emphasis of the intensity from upper/lower, push/pull, reps/singles:

Monday
Pulling: moderate - 3 reps snatch x 10 sets
Legs: heavy - 5x5 to increasing near max
Pushing: Light - 3 x 8 PBN
Chins: 3 x10

Tues:
Legs Light: 3 x 8 front squat
Pressing: Heavy 10x 2 jerks
Pulling: Moderate 4 x 5 snatch grip deadlift from blocks
Bench: build up to 2x near fast max over 10 sets

Wed:
Pulling: heavy cleans 10 x 1 building to max (fail twice with same weight)
Legs Light: Overhead squat
Pushing: light 5x5 dip - bodyweight
Deadlift: 3 x 3 quite heavy
