overtraining question/idea
hey ive got a question/thought on overtraining...
now i mostly use a 5 day split when i lift, with each day devoted to a diff muscle group. i rotate between the weeks, one week ill do arms 2x, and then the next week maybe back or chest 2x. i like using this routine, and i use the weekends to rest, and let my body take a break, and i feel like im nowhere close to overtraining.
anyways, here is my question about overtraining......would it be ok to "overtrain" until you get to the point where your body tells you "back off" and then at that point gear down and go back to my normal routine. the reason i ask is, i am out of school right now, and I have all the time in the world. i mean if im at the gym and i want to throw in some bicep curls and ive already done them 2x that week, why not do it? with all the time i have right now, getting rest is definetly not a problem. furthermore, if i feel like my body starting to get really tired or telling me to stop, id like to think i would do just that.
i would like to use this one month I have off to shock my body into some growth, and work on weak spots and i was wondering if anyone else has had any success with this or not?
obviously, this would be a short term thing, because i know my body cant support the intentional overtraining for a long term period, and eventually this break from life that I have will have to come to an end and I wont have all the time in the world.
sorry for the long post, any thoughts appreciated.
