one word:

overtraining

 

[Never Enough]

The only word needed to describe that has already been used!

 

[Xalthus]

well lets say my body can take this abuse... will my muscles be able to grow good following this workout?

 

[spentagn]

umm...no?

 

[MadMachine]

Three words too describe that-
Nervous System Collapse!
Or three more words-
Bad fuck'n idea!
Or three others-
Call an ambulance!

Not even Arnold and Franco trained that much. I may have missed how many sets, maybe is one per exercise was used that would be okay, but I highly doubt that's the case.

 

[Xalthus]

ok.. but WHY won't it work? i wanna know. It seems like it would work pretty good since i would be working out every muscle.

 

[Suspension]

I hope that was a joke.

 

[Xalthus]

seriously

Bro, you do not need to hit every possible part of the muscle in a particular workout. If you stick to around 2 basic movements and rotate the excercises you will get much better results.

for example: one day for chest I might do medium grip incline presses and flat DB flys. The next week I'll do flat db presses and low cable flies for the upper chest. Some weeks I'll just flat bench. This allows me to handle heavy weights yet still have balanced development.

Also: do everyone a favor and don't work chest on monday. Why so many people are compelled to do this is beyond me.
