super sets

[raider6969]

if u keep on training by doing giant sets or super sets, will u eventually overtrain?

Are you doing 100 sets a day, or are you doing say 5 sets? I think you need to be more specific, but my overall belief is that too many people buy into this overtraining stuff and end up doing wussy sets in the gym (10 reps when the weight they use they should have done 14, etc).

i dont do supersets. right now i do every body par once a week.
-chest 8 sets, triceps 4 sets
-back 8 sets, biceps 4 sets
-legs 8 sets, calves 4 sets, shoulders 8 sets

if i wanted to super set them , less time at the gym, i can super set for many weeks or just one week every blue moon?

Its ok to use supersets, just don't do it all the time, it would probably be best to use them one week then regular sets the next.
I don't beleive they will lead to overtraining, like you said, they are nice when you don't have alot of time for the gym.

it will most likely lead to stagnation...use them sparingly.
