Training the same muscle group twice a day?

[Struis]

Can one train the following way to loss body fat and gain big muscle?

Train high reps with light weights in the morning about 09am and the train the same muscle group in the afternoon 06pm low reps heavy weights, the same muscle group will then only be trained again after 7 days.

I think it's probably overkill.

I did it during the last month of deployment but I wasn't doing any cardio-no equipment and I don't want to run in 110-120 degree. I was doing my heavier movements in the 4-8 rep range in the morning and higer reps in the 10-15 in the afternoon. I don't think it helped or hurt me at all.

It's certainly not a typical style of training thats for sure.
Most guys want to work a particular muscle very hard and then rest it for 24-48 hours to give it time to re-pair.
If you'r interested in training
twice per day look into some sort of a split routine.

You will most likely overtrain. Most people would recommend only training a body part once a week. If you was able to work a body part twice a day then obviously you haven't been pushing hard the first time.
