Not taking a day off while on?

[surferstar]

Hey guys I was just curious if anyone doesn't take a day off while on. I've been at the gym for the last 12 days straight and seem to be recovering quite well. Definately have gained good size and lost BF since I haven't missed a day. Anyone else do this or am i just getting a little too obsessed while on? some days i do a double session.

surfer,

You are making a HUGE mistake! You need your rest and overtraining is a recipe for disaster!

cheers.

Yes you can in fact overtrain while on steriods. If you don't feel the need to take days off possibly you're not working hard enough when you're there.

The Barbarian Brothers used to say that there is no such thing as overtraining...only under eating, under sleeping, and failure of the will.

I seldom take a day completely off-however I devote 1-2 days/wk to cardio and/or detail muscle groups only like calves/forearms. Then again I don't do anything physical for work, I'm always on, and I seldom sleep less than 8-9 hrs/night as well.

Well i can definately say thats not the situation, I bust my freakin ass every single day in the gym! I'm hella sore the next 2 days with each body part, but by the time i hit that body part again usually 5 days later, its totally fine and ready to go!

I hear ya man. I devote 3-4 1 hour sessions AM on an empty stomach Then hit the food, go back about 3 hours later and hit the weights. Between consistanly eating every 2-3 hours everyday and never missing and 8hrs deep sleep. Im full of energy all day long and its as if i can't expend it all. By the time I leave the gym usually 1.5 hr weight session i can't even move and am totally exhausted, but by the 2cd meal after, im all good again.

i actually train every day and have done so for the last 8 weeks. I think I missed 2-3 days in that period. But my work-outs normally last 1hour only, and 30 minutes of that is cardio This seems to be working for me. I am just waiting to feel burnt out and then I will take a few days off.

I like your RX program and the classic push/pull routine will allow you to recover properly. As long as you feel good physically and emotionally about training that day, I say go for it. Leave the days off for the lazy guys that have a life outside of training. lol

well remember that overtraining is primarily a result of nervous system burnout. if you keep your training sessions short you can probably train more often. however on the flip side remember that larger muscles take more time to recover. but as for the muscle physiology you need to overload the muscle to achieve supercompensation, and this overload is not, should not be accomplished per training session but more intelligiently over a period of weeks or months. so periodicize it. ideally i like more frequent but shorter highly intense training sessions. ideally something like two times a day, 3 on, 1 off. then every 8 weeks or so take a week or so off. then maybe resume with eod training for six weeks. etc. you just have to mix it up. listen to your body. there are no absolutes if you learn to do this.

A WEEK off? Talk about withdrawel, i'm having an easier time quitting smoking than i think it would be to try and take a week off.
