I heard about this, I considered trying it but i want to get more info about it. What i know so far is you work out once in morning (9:00) and again in the afternoon (6:00). If anyone has any thoughts or ideas, please post.

Working out twice a day
There once was a man from Peru who dreamed he was eating his shoe. He woke with a fright in the middle of the night and found that his dream had come true.

I once did a HST twice a day workout, 10 X a week training, hitting each bodyprt 5 times a week. i manged to do this for 4 weeks then i was exhuasted, i ate loads aswell. Overall i gained 8 pounds and at most i put on 1 pound of fat. However it does exhuast you. And before anyone starts flaming me for too much volume i did vvvveeeryyy little volume but high frequency, it actually worked out quite well.

Testorone levels are decreased after your first workout, but they restore themselves to normal in 6-8 hours. And your able to workout once again. And yes it will result in overtraining, if done continusly for a long period of time. When completing one month(4 weeks) of the program you take on rest week and resume on your regular training scheduale. I do my research. I'm just trying to find out as much as possible.

I would say two short workouts are better than one long one.
Think about-- working releases test, IGF-1, HGH, etc. Twice the workouts twice the hormones.
Just don't make the workouts aren't too long or its twice the cortisol.Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Working out twice a day is good...
Just reduce the pwo shakes (80% and 50% for example), and bump up your calories a fair bit (300-500).
If you are going to do this I would suggest you do a form of undulating periodization, eg: do 4-6 reps for a 3 day cycle and 8-12 for the next, to help you deal with the increased frequency. Just my ideas, good luck.Never visiting this forum again.

Yea I used to thid, Id wake up at 4:30 am and go to the gym then school then go back after school at 3 to do some extra sets of stuff I didnt feel good on. It was ok but you feel kinda weak in the muscles and I hear its better to just rest as long as possible after a workout. Id say once a day is good.

Plus, you never really wanna workout for an hour. Around 45 minutes you start releasing a lot of cortisol.
My workouts when from about 45 minutes to about 30 minutes when I do two a day.Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Working out twice a day is STUPID unless one of the sessions doesn't include weights. Hormonal levels are very bad during the second workout. A second workout offers another chance at nutrient partitioning, but at the expense of decreased protein synthesis, super-increased cortisol levels, decreased testosterone, and increased CNS stress. The human body doesn't like being stressed after it's already been stressed befoere it can heal again.
On top of my game, and it don't stop til my hip don't hop anymore.

Have you considered designating each lifting day entirely to one muscle grouping (i.e. chest/triceps, back/biceps, etc) and going heavy in the morning and doing a high volume workout in the evening?

^^doing that would be overtraining the body worked out. think about u work out chest/triceps in the morning heavy intensity, then again in evening low intensity it is to much overexcertion. atleast that is what i think. Anyway, i started my new workout program today, the twice a day thing. I did my morning workout already, and in 1hr i will be doing my evening workout. I decieded to try it because it was worth a shot. if i start losing muscle mass, or feel like im overtraining i am going to stop.

all things being the same (total volume and intensity) 2 workouts a day is better then one.
My reasoning... scientific studies have proved it, this is the way olympic lifters train, many other reasons....
