Currently i am working out Chest/Sh/Tri on mondays - Legs on tuesdays - And back and bi on wednesdays. Taking thursday off and repeating the process friday.
Lifting reasonably heavy - 8 reps and only 8.
I'm mainly used to working out one body part per day, so i thought i'd work double for a few weeks to shock my body.
Do you think this would be a reasonable shock?

Overtraining to shock your body
Train in this moment, sweat in this moment, and by tomorrow you will be a beast.
The only thing that can hold me back, is myself.
Train like a beast, eat like a horse, sleep like a baby, grow like a weed.

Not your fault for perpetrating the BS that gets thrown around sometimes, but "shocking" your body is probably the dumbest concept in weight lifting history.
Just keep at it and slowly increase the weight. That's all the "shocking" your body needs.

not a good idea , you can do it this way- first week - double chest workout , 2nd week- double back workout, 3rd week- double arms workout, and so on...

Even that I don't understand. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're lifting enough weight to really push yourself, you shouldn't be able to double your workload at the flick of a switch, no? It's kind of like working up to a 4 mile run and then trying to run 8 miles on some random day. Doesn't make sense to me.Originally Posted by princesoni
IMO, of course.

Might be good once in a while to try and increase your fitness level and work capacity, but get ready to be really tired in a few weeks working out 2x as much!

Don't forget to sub in some tazer work every 3-4 weeks. Gotta keep switching things up.Originally Posted by ironwill2008

Yes, but it's easy to overtrain from heavy tazering, so you only do it once a month or so.Originally Posted by allieninja
