Has this been done?
this may sound kina dumb but I was thinking.. everytime you work out you break down your muscles. What if you went with a realativly heavy weight one day. Did your normal complete workout, then the next day still sore from the day before do another workout (same muscle) but went with a really light weight and burnt out. Many reps. Then rest for a few days. Has anyone ever tried this before?

An increase in strenth gains, because the muscle is being broken down more. When it is regenerating shouldn't it grow even stronger?
or would this just be overtraining

It would be overtraining.
Always perform the least amount of work to achive your desired results.

I can't really say if it would be overtraining because people react differently but I wouldn't strongly recommend it! If you are sore from a previous workout that means that the muscle is already broken down and needs time to repair itself. If you ignore this soreness and try to break it down even further, regardless if it's overtraining or not, you are setting yourself up for an injury! I do think this would be overtraining but I've also heard cases where people have trained like this and have gotten good results but I think they were on the juice!

I say it would result in overtraining the muscle. You've already broken it down, it needs rest to grow.

Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

What your talking about is known as a type of active recovery.
If you do it to the extent that you are not bringing the level of intensity to the point of your previous workout then it is fine.
Use it sparingly, like any other type of restoration methods use them in moderation.
