[MysteriousNomad]

Brb every thread I enter say 5 days a week is too much volume.

Brb 3 days a week is where it's at.

Brb PPL.

Brb brb.

Wut in zee fuk

[yabrahbob]

[wisdommaster1]

there's nothing wrong with it... overtraining is bull****

[Lates85]

lemme guess, the people saying 3 days a week max are crossfitters?

[BillySitch]

Brb every thread I enter say 5 days a week is too much volume.

We must be reading different threads, OP. I think the main criticism of the usual 5day bodypart split is the lack of frequency for a natty lifter, not too much volume.

I want to do 2 days upper/lower.

Rest.

Then 3 days of PPL.

IS THT TOO MUCH VOLUME?

[wolf1078]

do what works for you. everyone's different.

[IngeKJ]

do what works for you. everyone's different.

6 days/week > 3 days/week for everyone

[metalandweights]

train 5 days a week and if you are natty you will feel so burned out within 2 months, guaranteed

[khergan]

This.

Every person's body is different. Your recovery rate will be different based on a lot of things, like diet, sleep, stress, genetics, etc.

My sweet spot is 4x a week, taking Weds and Sat/Sun off.

no... unless you are doing a ton of sets every day... I'm currently squatting for 21 days straight and I havent died yet

I've been training for 6 days/week for over a year...

[wolf1078]

6 days/week > 3 days/week for everyone

definitely not everyone. some people, sure. it depends on what your routine is like and what your goals are.

WHY?? Does YOUR cns give out or are you just a pussy in the gym?

Srs. What the fuk. Can't work out for ~6 hours a week without feeling drained? ?

I bet if there was some pussy motivating you you'd break past 2 month mark. Come on

[GynoK1ng]

depends on how fast you recover.

4 day split with a 5th day to work on lagging body parts is optimal for me but I just never have time to work out that much.

4 day bro split of peace

[E-Tank]

unless you have a passion for lifting, most peeps dont want to do to the gym 5 days a week. Not to mention with 5 days youll need to make sure youre eating enough to support that workload

For those that dont believe over training is real, do smolov while keeping your current diet or even a cal deficit (if you really want to try and prove me wrong) and report back

bravo team take him down

[IngeKJ]

definitely not everyone. some people, sure. it depends on what your routine is like and what your goals are.

Unless your goal is to get "toned" or some *******ry like that sure. If you want results in form of strength or size, there is no question.

[ameindel]

Six days a week here. I do a low weight/high volume PPL X 2 per week with Sunday off. Recovery is fine and I continue to set rep PR's in most exercises each session.

I've done Smolov... currently squatting every day for 3 weeks... eating a cal deficit during such a program is just foolish.

Train 5-6 days a week. Works well for me. Just try it op and see how you respond

[MELpiece9]

I do PPL.

Push/Pull/Legs REST Push/Pull/Legs.

Been doing this a while and lifts are still going up. I just think when you work out 5 or 6 times a week its important to have deload weeks occasionally.

[Bassackwards]

i day is wear it's at.

brb-full body work out
brb-so much more time to do activities




not srs dough
i say it's up to you. if you can work out 7 days a week and still make gains, more power to you

[TheIronAsylum]

there is no problem

Also, this. Different strokes for different folks. When you try different things you'll see what your body responds to best.

It's not too much volume, however it will depend on a lot of factors, such as how you structure volume, intensity, caloric intake, sleep, and external stress outside of training.

For example, one of my guys work week on/week off, so this week we squatted benched and deadlifted every day for 7 days. He hit an easy deadlift PR of 540 on day 6 after pulling 5 days in a row. He's on a dreamer bulk and went from 174 to 198 in 6 weeks, still has 6pack abs and vascularity, and we've been doing full body compound training pretty much every day. Volume is lower when he goes to work at camp due to the stress of working 12 hrs before training, frequency and intensity stays the same.

How you feel is a lie. Overtraining is very hard to do if you have any sense.

[tektherapripper]

I want to do 2 days upper/lower.

Rest.

Then 3 days of PPL.

IS THT TOO MUCH VOLUME?

that's what I have been doing. just make sure to deload or rest when you need it.

A wild broscientist appears..

how is that broscience? if you go hard 5 days a week eventually you will burn out if you don't rest or deload. or is dat broscience to. only rest when dead?
