Thread: is this too much?

Probably not. Do you feel that something changed about your health ?

i havn't started doing it that way yet.....was just wondering if this would be ok....i will probably do 1 cardio a week thouh... i am under 10%bf anyways

I did this when I was trying to make weight and still get stronger. It wore my ass out but I saw results.

I don't see anything wrong with it! If you start to feel run down, listen to your body!!!!!

In all honesty, you're the only one who can answer that question. When you go into the gym to lift weights you should get stronger with EVERY workout. If you go lift next week and can't lift more than you did this week you're either not pushing yourself hard enough or you're not giving your body enough time to recover between workouts.

you mean everyone else doesn't curl 100 lbs. dumbells around here

i would say it's not overdoing it, but only your body will tell you if you are overdoing it, once you start dredding going to your workout or are lacking any energy outside of workoing out then you are overtraining, i lift 4 days a week of heavy lifting, do ;ight cardio (run a mile or so) on lifting days, and 2 days a week i do some heavy cardio. sometimes on my off days ill do some abs and some calves.

2 x a week cardio is pretty good for an average person gaining lean mass and keeping bf at the same percentage.

It really depends on your body, and your goals.

Arthur: How long have you been one this regimen? Are yoy on a two days on, one day off, three days on schedule? Or is it 5 days in a row? Do you circuit train, or work each bodypart a different day of the week?
