Why is overtraining bad?
I'm NOT referring to training a muscle five times in one week, I mean overtraining a muscle in one day's lifting session.

Very few people could over train in just one day.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

it doesnt matter how many times you train a muscle in one week, muscles recover in about 24 hours, it is about putting too much stress on your CNS via training to failure, or to heavy! alot of people don't understand this. So yes it is possible to overtrain if you train too heavy or too failure too much a day even if you only train 3 times a week and are training different muscles on those three days.
For example: you will probably overtrain on a program like this: Push: Flat Bench 5x5 failure every set Incline Bench 5x5 failure every set Military Press 5x5 failure every set Dips 5x5 failure every set Pull Rows 5x5 failure every set Pull-ups 5x5 failure every set Cable Rows5x5 failure every set Upright Rows5x5 failure every set Legs Squat5x5 failure every set Deadlift5x5 failure every set Get the point ?!?! On the other hand you can train the same muscle 3 times a week, but not to failuire and not too heavy all three of those days and be fine! For example: you will probably not overtrain on a routine like this Monday Flat Bench 3x10 2 reps short of failure Squat 3x10 2 reps short of failure Deadlift 3x10 2 reps short of failure Bent-over Row 3x10 2 reps short of failure Pull-ups 3x10 2 reps short of failure Military Press 3x10 2 reps short of failure Wedensday Flat Bench 3x10 2 reps short of failure Squat 3x10 2 reps short of failure Deadlift 3x10 2 reps short of failure Bent-over Row 3x10 2 reps short of failure Pull-ups 3x10 2 reps short of failure Military Press 3x10 2 reps short of failure Friday Flat Bench 3x10 2 reps short of failure Squat 3x10 2 reps short of failure Deadlift 3x10 2 reps short of failure Bent-over Row 3x10 2 reps short of failure Pull-ups 3x10 2 reps short of failure Military Press 3x10 2 reps short of failure To answer your question in short- If you are not training to failure or heavy, you can train 2-3 hours a day if you want, and not overtrain, Are you going to have more gains than a regular 30-45 minute workout- NO, Is it a waste of time and energy- YES, Is it a stupid thing to do- yes  |

What does the stress on the CNS consist of? What are the consequences?
