Working out...Muscle saturation......

[motiondo]

This goes to AAS and working out...or maybe just working out generally....

When you work out...what is your point of muscle saturation...?

It seems like when I fgo to work out, that my muscles quit before my mind wants to...( a good thing I think...)
The problem is that even though I max out on weight - resistance, almost every time I workout... It seems that I still have the drive to lift a tooth pick - if that were all I can still give it....and I want to kkep going, but I feel like its futile if my bdy is saying something different...

Is it - good enough - to simply quit at that point...or if I have or can make the time...does anyone suggest that as soon as my body allows me to, (in the same day of course...) to get back in the Gym or grab some weights, as soon as I'm able...and to keep plugging away - until my body and mind get tired togather....
How do you guys handle...extreme motivation....when your body is saying "ENough...!"...?

Body doesn't determine when I'm done, the brain does. If i feel like I didn't bust my ass, I'm not done.

good way to get injured. Over time you will learn to listen to your body and you will be better for it.

I turned my training around a few years ago, from volume, all out, pump the sets out, if i had any energy left more system. to now which is a controlled minimum sets max intensity.

working back for 6-8 sets, means i put my all into those sets, and yes as CEO said listen to your body, sometimes i train 3 times per week sometimes 4, but you need your rest days.

Good luck with the training

I should've added 'within reason'. I don't overtrain by any means. But I do get the most from my planned workouts. I.e. going to failure on final sets, high intensity on last few mins of cardio

No you shouldn't try and go to failure every single time you workout. All you'll end up with is an injured body and overloaded CNS. "Listen" to your body as CEO mentioned and know when to back down. Sometimes the best way to grow is to take a break.
