    Overtraining???

    I consider myself an experienced lifter. However, some people may feel that I overtrain. I sometimes lift 7 days straight, however, I split up the worked body parts by a few days. I never lift more that an hour, because I heard its pointless. I have read some articles and talked to guys that lift maybe 4 days a week or even less. I am constantly getting gains by lifting everyday and I feel good and rarly feel sore. It just bothers me to miss a day, because I got into such a focused routine. I get plenty of carbs, calories, protien in my diet, therefore, I feel my body can keep up with such a hard regiment. Sometimes I wonder if I would be much bigger and stronger if I cut back. I recently won a powerlifting contest and plan on doing a "Natural" bodybuilding competition in May. (So on that basis I'm by no means new to the weight lifting world.) Therefore, I dont really want to change something that is working for me. What do you guys think?

    You said it yourself, and it shouldn't matter what other people say. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If and when you stop making progress, then you should look at alternatives.
