On drugs... 6on, 1off, not on drugs, 2 on 1 off. Always worked well for me.

good read j .i have been doing 2 on 1 off for a long time with cardio on the off days but sometimes i still think i might be overtraining

 

[JKurz1]

i havent had a off day for YEARS!!!!!!!!!

granted 5 days training max, but at a minimum, 2 days of cardio..........

4 days weights and 3 days of cardio (off days) is my current routine. Never more than 4 days of weights though no matter what.

Sort of like mine, and I AM overtrained.........even with cardio bro.....it's a real thing.......the heart is a very large muscle and needs a break just like everything else...I'm moving a cardio day to a walk the dog day and thats it.....too bad it too me 10 years and a few blood tests to figure this out.......

Volume during your on-days has a lot to do with it too. I started working-out with a novice bodybuilder who was preparing for a show doing a total-body cutting routine. We would only go 4 days a week, but we'd do 3 rotations of 3 lifts being supersetted -- 9 lifts. Of those lifts, we'd do anywhere from 3 to 6 sets each. It translated into a 36-39 set day, which took about 3 weeks to drive me into an overtrained mode.
