Wanna hear your guys opinions on overtraining. Do you think it actually makes you go catabolic and destroy muscle as opposed to building more muscle? Add anything you want on the topic.
Thanks

If you don't believe in overtraining, then you haven't trained hard enough for long enough to have an opinion.
The people who say it doesn't exist are usually just trying to look tough. And they always contradict themselves by saying you can be "under prepared". So if you're underprepared, you can too hard and become fatigued. Basically they're saying overtraining exists, but they're giving it a different name. ****ing retards.www.XCCELLENCE.com - Transform yourself, become a Champion.

Yes, or at least according to the NASM textbook for CPT. Overtraining and the stress caused by the workload places on the CNS and PNS causes higher dosages of cortisol (a strongly catabolic agent) to be released into your body. Your body normally, and is required to have Cortisol to break down and utilize Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats however in large doses it has been proven to be detrimental to protein synthesis, muscle repair, and even the break down of muscle fibers.

Exactly the only way I could think of going extreme catabolic is sprinting till your body forces u to stop and then keep pushing it till you pass out and then just keep going till your BODY forces you to stop not your mind. Now this sounds really dumb but just think no one has ever done it but I guarantee it's overtraining. As for lifting I've done 100 reps with 135 (I could only do 10 at a time) me and a friend never left the bench we were just doing some CT fletcher stuff (stupid again?) but it went well and I think if any plateaus were reached at the current max of 185 they were probably broken. Honestly I think to overtrain it would require a ton of mental toughness to just keep trucking and lots of volume with lots of high intensity.

My fukking Church History teacher (sadly went to a catholic hs) told us she believes the planets orbit the earth because apparently in the bible it says the earth stands still lmao. I went to the Dean and told him he cant employ people like this. You cant have teachers literally teaching you complete bullchit. She was let go after that year. Fukking catholic education for you

I use to train chest everyday, literally. I now have a chest that is bigger than most girls in my area. I've started to do the same for arms/legs and I can say they have grown a lot these past couple months. Just make sure you eat and sleep enough. Don't go heavy either, have one day dedicated to going all out, then the other days with light weight. Try 3 days a week first and see what happens. Know your body and if you think you're getting to a point to where you feel like you're "overtraining" then just stop.
