10 year lifter.. Help me answer this volume question please.
I have had my fair share of injuries.. but lifted on and off since 2013. 5'8 190lb coming off a 200lb bulk. 28 years old. Male.
The question: How much volume can I actually do at this point in my lifting career? I know this is a HIGHLY varied answer from person to person so here is some background data:
Example: Chest day: 2-3 sets of 50% effort fly machine to warm up. 2-3 warm up sets on flat bench (less than 5 reps). 3 working sets flat bench (6-10 reps). Weight dips with 45lb, 3 working sets (8-12 reps). Incline dumbell 3 working sets (6-12 reps). High-low fly 2 pump work sets (12-20 reps). [ All working sets taken to absolute failure, even some partial reps when applicable ]
I can do this workout.. and feel "taxed" the next day but not sore.. 48 hours later I am not sore at all.
I eat 200-230g protein per day. 130-150g carbs/day. 40-80g fats/day. 1900-2000 cals on a cut.
Arms/shoulders/abs/lats/traps seem to recover even faster.. sometimes not even sore the next day doing a decent amount of volume...
ULTIMATELY, here's my question: Is it considered overtraining if I did that chest workout every 3 days? If I am not sore is it okay to still lift even if it's only been 48-72hours?
If so this would mean I could do a PPL split twice a week.
The only PED I am taking right now is MK677/ibutamoren.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
