Nothing big man! I can't help it. Every time I see my beautiful pearl power rack just sitting there looking all lonely I can't fight it. I immediately run over there and do a swan dive through the top of it and get to work!Originally Posted by Hola BolaWhats wrong with training every day?

I just use the leg press for calf raises or hack squats. To be honest, I actually bought it because some female family members said they would use one. You'll rarely see me post anything about a leg press in any of my leg routinesOriginally Posted by Still_Shruggin
Not that there's anything wrong with that *attempt to be politically correct*

Thanks John. I built it over a year ago... so finally all the equipment I had in my garage had a place to go. My wife was very happy to get to park her new van insideOriginally Posted by JOHN GARGANI
I still want a cable crossover station, seated calf raise, and preacher bench, but I've added a Tbar rowing station and a few accessories since those pics were taken.

If you vary your intensity levels and can handle it, you'll be fine.

Proud of my home gym. Pretty well equipped and in the garage. About 15 steps from where I sit right now.
I am trying to heal a torn rotator cuff (yeah, I know - healing will really never happen without surgery, but getting the inflamation down at least), combine with tears in my right forearm flxors/extensors. So where am I going with this ?
I have not worked out for a week. Will probably hold off one more week and then back at it again (with lots of post workout ice, NSAIDs, pain, and rest). Makes me nuts not being able to go out ther right now.
Having the convenience of it right there and really enjoying a workout makes it very tough not to hit it every day / multiple times per day. However, I do my best and even when working without pain, I try to only go 4 days on, 1 day (or 2 days) off.
I am an old guy (48), so rest is important too.

if i had a home gym i dont think i would be able to resist the temptation, but i mean its not bad as long as you know how to moniter your overtraining.
personally ive overtrained twice, so im very good at figuring out when im overtraining or not.
diet and rest have a crapload to do with it though.

What's wrong with training every day?
I can't believe the answer to that question isn't self-evident for some people.
It depends on your program. Some routines that require more rest and recovery, by their very nature, preclude consecutive-day workouts. While doing such programs, training every day will only cut into your gains.
