Squating 4x a week

[projectcody]

So im cutting but im doing BLSS.. Does that scream injury or over training? Im recovering fine but my hip flexors tight aS hell haha.. Let me here ur opinions guys thanks

[CM1221]

Why in the world would you squat 4 times a week? Alot of ppl are all about frequency buy youve taken it too far.

hmm, squatting is good for burning cals but if your cutting aren't you better off doing more cardio? squatting that much a week may cause injuy or fatigue along with your cutting, since your not bulking you may not have the food energy to do that much..

[Wantaripbod]

It seems like way too much, and screaming for overtraining IMO. Try x2 a week keeping it at 72 hrs rest in between squats.

[projectcody]

Thanks guys.. Its low volume so idk what to do

[LlamaWithARifle]

You answered your own question, if you are "recovering fine" then you shouldn't need to worry about over training.

Just make sure to stretch and foam roll your hip flexors and you'll be fine.

[mightymouse47]

Definitely could lead to over training or injury, but it really all depends on how you feel and how you're recovering. I'm currently cutting and I know the last thing I would want to do is squat 4x a week, I'd be dead

[projectcody]

Thanks guys ill cut it to 2x a week

[Jericoe]

Lol at "over training" during my cut I was squatting 4x a week and still am.

[lokkith]

I'm not cutting but I am doing Smolov which is 4x a week and haven't had any injuries, just make sure to use a roller, though squatting 4x a week might become too taxing in the long run on a cut.

[Killafornia805]

Not enough times a week try squatting 7 times a week






























Id do 3 times a week max.. Thats only on SS 5x5

[cjl14]

i would just lift whenever I wanted, or felt good, on BLSS. I'd squat 6 times in a row lol. including front squat ofc

[naich]

a lot of useless brosciency bullchit itt. squatting 4 times a week is fine, and good at that. frequency>volume *******. if you aren't squatting at least 2x a week its take some getting used too though, also your hip problem can be fixed by daily mobility and stretching exercises.

Was just gonna say the same. WTF at this bullshiet itt.
(not you jericoe my brah, not you)

I squatted 4x per week when on BLSS and it worked wonders for me. If you are "recovering fine" then ffs you are recovering fine. Stretch/foam roll your flexors.
Dont let any of these guys to get to you. If you CAN squat 4x per week and recover fine then by all means you should do so!

[S3RB0N]

If you squatted 4 times a week while you were bulking you should keep it that way even when you're in a deficit. If you aren't feeling too tired to squat 4 times a week it's completely fine. Overtraining is overrated, it's quite hard to be overtrained if you aren't a competitive powerlifter or close to that.

[Hanlon444]

I hate squatting once a week let alone 4... But whatever suits you bro

[naderqud]

If overtraining is overrated, then I'll be damned son because arnold was training 5 hours a day, whereas mentzler was barely in the gym training for more then 30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. It depends on your body and it's really underrated . respectfully disagreed

both were assisted using cellular technology, you'd be a real idiot if you mimicked them in the slightest, or took any of there advise. listen to proven natural pros if you want to mimic someone.


no such thing as over training, just under eating and under sleeping

Steroids aren't a real help when it comes to overtraining anyway, they just enhance the performance of your muscle, not the endurance of your CNS, which is why people get "overtrained" no matter how much drugs they use.

Agreeing with the last part

[7399martyn]

squatting 4x a week is not over training. stop being a bunch of lazy pussys.

[ATeeGee]

You're fine, you just haven't adapted to it yet. Eat well and recover well.
If your hips are bothering you that much do mobility work.

[lkillen]

Currently squatting 4x a week. I get sore as hell sometimes, but I never feel overtrained. I suggest trying it, i mean why not? I wouldnt do it fro any Longer than 3-4 weeks though. Your legs do need some rest.

[illuminattty]

ignore everyone on this forum who says squatting 4x week is too much.

[naderqud]

I don't mimic bodybuilders...that is a real dumb thing to do...

You must be lifting really light to be avoiding overtraining. Not sure how anyone can surivive multiple days of squatting to failure espeically when your back is invovled...very risky. Unless all your doing is squatting..no deadlifts? shoulders? Then MAYBE.

[chrisimundo]

depends on the amount of volume srs, if you are just going up to singles on squats obviously you can do it 7x a week like broz style

[Medinaaaa]

Lol at all the ***s saying don't do it. It's 3 sets of 5 reps which is basically no volume. You'll be fine op continue on!

Overtraining is mostly in your head. If you think you'll reach the stage of overtraining chances are you're going to.

dont talk about something you clearly dont know. there are tons of people who have had great results from high frequency squatting.

[naderqud]

SIR I never said no one benefits from this kind of training. But i did say overtraining exists. I Never knew it existed till i looked up the symptoms of it and i had some of them...

your body is able to adapt to higher levels of stress than you think.
