Training twice a day

[protonfixer3]

If you train twice a day is it a bad idea to work the same muscle groups over again ? Or do you have to give your body time to recover ??

 

[P0N]

I guess it depends as on how hard or long the individual sessions are. You certainly don't want to overtrain muscles so they don't recover and your progress stalls.

Even those that did this back in the day did different muscles

it doesn't take as much training to break down the muscle as people think if you are training the right way.

i've talked to mr O winners and competitors on my podcast and none of them train twice a day so not sure what benefit you would have as a gym rat doing it unless you work at the gym and are bored or something

The same muscle group twice a day? Why? You grow in the kitchen and while RESTING not while training.

Yes you definitely need time to recover. That's when you grow.

Don't be one of those people who neglects rest.
