You have to experiment and make mistakes to find out the correct amount of volume and the correct amount of training per week that you should do.
If you are gaining,you`re doing something right,if not,check your volume,training frequency,intensity,diet,rest,and outside asctivity levels to start with.My Website:

This entire topic of over- and undertraining IMO is way too talked about. To really overtrain your body it takes a ridiculous workload, along with a huge calorie deficient, and then a high-stress level, etc. To overtrain your CNS, now that's a different story.

I used to do the upwards of 40 sets per body part, and I never once felt any of the overtraining symptoms.

Wow, upwards of 40 sets per bodypart? How often do you hit each bodypart?

Used to, is the keyword. I've gotten that straightened out. I would hit each bodypart once per week.

IMO overtraining & genetics works like this. Originally Posted by MonStar
lets say on a monday, you totally work to complete failure your chest. then late monday and tuesday, you can feel that the muscle is extremely sore. then on wednesday, still sore, not as sore as tuesday, but still very sore. then on thursday, it feels much better.... and on friday, the pecs when you flex or push on them do not hurt anymore. so this is the turning point. if you work on your pecs on friday, and they respond well and feel and look stronger on saturday, you have very good genetics.
however, for the average joe, although it no longer felt sore on friday, it still needs systematic recovery although local recovery is almost fully complete. for the average joe, if they were to attempt a heavy chest workout on friday (in this example) on saturday, they would feel little to no soreness, and they would have been unable to increase their weights on the friday just past. if they continued working out like this, not only will their pecs not grow or get stronger, this muslce will burn out.
