"Work out no longer than 1 hour to keep your anabolic (muscle-building) hormones high and catabolic (muscle-wasting) hormones low. Over-training is a quick way to lose muscle along with fat."

*** Myth. What does overtraining have in relation to a workout lasting longer then 60 minutes? Muscle wasting hormones are released depending on the intensity of the exercise.

Please reference this statement as it is an empty opinion. I would like to see the studies (not one) that show that after a 60 minute weight training session muscle wasting is occurring at such a rate that it becomes detrimental to the trainer.

It's not an empty opinion or myth.

Studies have shown that testosterone levels will increase with 45-60 minutes of exercise, after this amount of time T levels begin to decline and cortisol levels rise.

Please post these studies so we may judge the validity of them. Anyone can state that a study said so and so. If you cannot provide the nessecary references then we are going to be left with the notion that you are writing false/misleading information.

I agree with the writer of the article. When training continues for longer than an hour, your cortisol levels continue to rise to levels that are not necesarily couter-productive to a person's goals, but it is time much better spent resting and/or stretching.

I can tell you this is true from my own research in physiology. I wont go into the specific details of the research, but we utilised saliva samples and tested for cortisol levels using RIA.

Essentially, After working out for 1 hour and 20 mins, my cortisol levels were nearly double then what they were after working out for only 55 mins. Which is a very significant difference.

I'm sorry but that is not good enough.

I 'need' to see this proof, not hear about it as we so often do.

Translation: I realise that what you have posted is valid and factual, however since i have been proven wrong i will continue to place the burdon of proof onto others, so i dont look like an ass.

Ooppps... Too late.

Perhaps you should just acknowledge that there are people here with an education level much higher than your own.
