    Overtraining Question

    two recent threads on overtraining.

    Read the sticky topics in this section for info on how to put together a decent program. 5 days a week, im guessing all in one lump, isnt good.

    I haven't read a single thing in this site that suggests my original supposition that "less, but intense" isn't best.

    I'm old though.. haven't finished a Cowpimp workout yet. LOL

    The biggest guys I know train the most volume, and they train hard. That isn't just from reading, that is real world, in front of my eyes, experience from the gyms I've been to. This is how sarcoplasmic hypertrophy works, it is an adaptation to volume training.
