Is this over training?

**needhelpplease** · 06-14-2005, 04:57 PM

I have been training using his chest work out and i like the results. However, I do NOT do the forced reps. I just do:

DB flys (8-10 rep weight) until exauhstion
DB flys again 70% of first set until exauhstion
Flat bench (8-10 rep weight) Until exauhstion

I do that 4 times with approximately 3-6 minutes in between each set while my partner works out

Then i Do.

incline DB press (8-10 rep weight) until exauhstion
incline DB press again 70% of first set until exauhstion
Either dips or pushout until exauhstion

I do 3 sets of that with again approx. 3-6 minutes of rest in between each set.

Can someone please critique my workou....it takes about 55 minutes total with a partner.... and that + 15 minutes of cardio is all i do for the day.

Is this over training or is this an efficiant routine?

if you like the results than continue it until you hit a plateau. if the routine is providing you with the results you are looking for than it is efficient for "your" goals

Question for you bud... Do you want the rest of my old routines or not? I'm hearing it from some haters who think they know it all so if you don't lmk. Only reason I've posted is for you... btw I did that routine to negative failure and ran an hour + right afterward and grew incredibly! Just give it a try... Reach persons body has a limit and reacts different. You've got to find yours on your own. Your routine would be a good place to start before jumping into the one I did.

If your program works for you, then good. But bare in my mind that this kind of training is not for everyone. The kind of routine that you posted (is it you that posted the 10 rep set 10 reps forced reps etc., Im not sure) is very intense. I've been doing DC for 6 months, and didnt gain a lot because I was overtraining, and if you know doggcrapp, you know that we do only 1 or 2 sets per bodypart balls to the walls.

Bottom line is that you may have good recovery abilities, and before sending a routine to any guy out there, ask him about his recovery abilities. I couldnt stand a chance with your routine, and I know it, except that I'll probably gain a bit of sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.

I do understand that completely... Not sure my body could handle that type of workout day after day anymore either. I went on a six year drug stint which is never a good thing... But you're right. That's why I said try it and find what works best for you as an individual. I no longer train like a mad man but remember those days well and wish I had never looked back! Thank God for second, thrid, fourth, fifth, etc. chances.......

Btw man. I don't do anymore than 10 sets once a week for any bodypart now. That's with straight sets and moderate weights too.
