    What's your opinion on overtraining?

    After doing about 17 sets for chest last week it hit me I'm probably over training. Then I remembered that when I did supersets I would only do 3-4 sets and saw muscle growth. 3 to 4 sets? Is that enough to make muscle grow?

    There are more factors than just the options you listed... Such as the frequency (how many times per week), intensity (weight used) and volume (how many sets) of your other workout days. There is also the factor of rest(days off & sleep), how balanced the routine is (upper/lower, push/pull movements, vertical/horizontal etc), and diet like you listed.

    Some people freak out if they have one day that has 18 sets in their program, but as long as it's balanced with all the other factors it shouldn't be a problem. Everyone's body is different though, you have to find what works for you.

    You can't just put "10 sets is over training" as an option, there can be so many factors invovled. It depends on what the movement is, intensity, how many reps, etc.
