Nah I train intense as ****-- supersets, negatives, etc.
Example of chest/biceps day:
-3 sets Flat DB press, 80's, 90's, 100's - 12, 10, 8 reps (15-30 sec rest)
-3 sets Incline DB press, 70's, 80's, 90's - 12, 10, 8 reps (15-30 sec rest)
-4 sets chest flies w/ bands- 15, 12, 10, 8,
-4 sets of chest dips all the way up and down (start out with 50 dips, usually lowers to about 20) supersetted 20 reversegrip pull-ups all the way up and down
-3 sets barbell curls supersetted with diamond pushups til failure (easily get 50-70 on first set)
-2 sets incline db curls
-2 sets incline hammer db curls
-2 sets curls with bands
Barely rest between sets and when I do its like 30 seconds between different exercises or like a minute for supersetted exercises
Usually dead by then, if not i burnout on random ****, and then hit treadmill for 15 min (8 mph)
and in addition to that I have my boxing/muaythai classes like two hours after my gym sesh

The only thing that gets overtrained is your nervous system, and when that happens, the muscles are no longer able to contract. You can't really overtrain a muscle, I do like 30 ****in sets for my back workouts and back is my best bodypart. You just have to find a balance where you're giving the muscle enough stimulation without taxing your nervous system TOO much.

Its important to note that its theoretically possible to have a capacity to do work that is actually so high that it is practically impossible to overtrain. But that doesn't mean that overtraining doesn't exist. In virtually all cases a work capacity like that is going to be the result of drugs, and doesn't take away from the fact that knowledge of overtraining is very important if a natural strength athlete want to excel at a high level.

I usually do back w/ triceps and legs has it's own day always -- my legs are probably my "biggest" muscles when comparing proportionality
back/triceps:
-warm up with 3-4 sets of wide-grip pull ups til failure (usually like 20, 15, 12, 12)
-3 sets of the row machine where you're on an incline with your chest (8, 10, 12 -- 3 45 plates, 2 45's and a 25, 2 45's)
-4 sets lat pull down (15, 12, 10, 8)
-2 sets of lat pulldowns with a straight bar standing up slightly bent forward
-3 sets bent over rows with barbell
-3 sets seated rows
-3 sets skullcrushers (12, 10, 8 -- 90, 100, 110 barbell)
-3 sets tricep pulldowns
-3 sets seated dips
-3 set tricep extensions
Leg day
-3 sets leg press machine where u add plates (12, 10, 8 -- 7 plates, 8 plates, 10 plates each side)
-5 sets calf press on smith leg press machine
-3 sets quad extensions
-3 sets calf raises
-4 sets hamstring machine
Yes I don't squat yet have huge legs
srs
Then I go into the room with the heavy bags and just do bunch of bodyweight **** for my legs that we do in muaythai

Well theres your answer. No heavy compounds in your program, and very few compounds at all.
If you dropped the rep range and added squats or deads, you would hit a wall pretty quick.
Only training at the high end of the rep range is not good for hypertrophy if thats what your after. You're neglecting the largest motor neurons that innervate muscle fibers activated only during maximal effort or repetition effort sets.

This is a good video. People tell me I am overtraining because I do Full body 3-4x a week; it's hilarious. They haven't a clue what overtraining is. Then you have people like this joker who thinks his Chest/Bicep routine is super intense and that it's necessary to train 4 hours a day 6 days a week LOL. I bet he is benching 185.
Lego, I am stuck at 290x8 bench/265x9 incline and trying to get it up, if I don't break a PR today I may message you lmao.
