Overtraining Is KILLING Your Gains! (How Much Is Too Much?) | Mind Pump TV

Good content fellas, but these info monologues need to be saved for the podcast. Watching you talk is dull and boring, no offense, but it lulls me to sleep, which I guess is perfect for recovery. I use these videos like chamomile tea! More lifting videos!

The content of the video doesn't really match the title I would say..

Hitting body parts 2-4 times aweek ? I thought once a week was the norm to let your muscles recover

Very smart video. Ill share

Evelotion lol

How do U manage intensity? More details please

I train 6 days a week , sometimes up to 1.5 hours per session when I bulk - but I feel great , when I cut I usually feel worse ; I only train 3-5 days a week and feel sluggish most of the time that I have to cut...

I think it varies greatly person to person depending on stress levels , daily work and life of that specific person , etc etc ... more stressors = overtraining more likely to happen , less stressors = more time and positive energy to focus on working out and recovering .

I also sleep 10 hrs every night and it seems to really help when I bulk , when If I’m not training at all I will feel overtired and groggy from 10 hrs sleep .

Makes so much sense. The most important part of training is the quality of the metabolic rebuild following an induced local punctual muscle inflammation. One can make an analogy with Valter Longo mimicking fasting. The benefits come from the quality of the refeeding that impacts the metabolism. It's all about the voluntarily induced metabolic change.

I d say tons of people are undertraining. They do a bro split and hit a body part once a wk. People can do way more frequency than that. Infact the longer you ve trained, the more necessary increased frequency becomes.

Sore usually means you haven t built enough work capacity in that muscle. I ve been benching 3x a wk, sqaut 2x or 3x and deadlift 2 or 3x and ohp 1x for several years now and i feel no worse than when i used to do a bro split. Work capacity can be increased over time.

Pussy

Your talking naturally training not training enhanced ?

awesome video! thanks for these insights! :)

Could you do a video about should you train when you have a cold, or recover first then train ?

Note on the chamomile. If your going to add something new, that you haven't had before, like chamomile. Take notice of any major or minor reactions you might have to it. An allergic reaction is a lot more noticeable, but slight intolerance problems can go on for awhile before you realize whats causing it. Speaking from experience.

I dont think most people overtrain, most people ego lift and move weights but dont work muscles. I've seen 150 lb guys at the gym push more weight than a pro bodybuilder, difference is form and technique. Why ego lifters never progress. Example they warm up with 135 lbs on BP lol every time.

You have a chicken chest.

Great video bro respect from Macedonian in Australia

So I have a question I never seem to be able to find out the correct workout frequency or days per week to train so I usually alternate week to week doing one week three times a week full body sessions and then the next week is four days per week where I give specific things a greater amount of attention individually and I just alternate this it would be nice to know if this is a good idea or if it’s better to pick just one format of training and stick with it

The best time to sleep is to have a good nice sex with your husband and then both can go sleep and sore :)

What about taking a pill for sleep ?

Regress with progress. Hmmm...interesting!!!!

Ok how does this make sense? When you can workout 2 times a week and still change or workout 3 times a week and still change? Everyones different...

Went from being a lazy fuck to now I’m worried about overtraining. Good problems to have :)

That top shelf in the fridge is disturbing my sleep cycle!

so, u're telling me i should wear sunglasses in bed!?

So this might be my 2nd time overtraining my Muscles and while I was at the gym I could actually feel when it happened, my work out was harder to do & I felt Fatigued. Will my Muscles go back to normal?

you believe in evolution? your not as smart as you sound then

There’s no such thing as overtraining, but under recover.

Actually overtraining is what bulid muscle for me

Anyone who's reached the point of Physical and mental weakness due to excessive training should follow the three golden rules for optimum recovery....Do no exercise..Do no exercise..Do no exercise..im talking taking 6 months off. Anyone who tells you to take a month off then do some light training doesn't understand human biology or Hormones, excessive training destroys the Adrenal Glands whilst raising cortisol and this combination is bad. Two simple rules to follow are...Train dont strain and Stimulate don't Anhilalate...Happy training

Great video

2 to 4 times per muscle group?
Should I train legs 3 times a week? 🥵

Guh

Nah bro played women’s only sports and though it was empowering when she won 💀💀💀

No such thing as over training. Jail men train the same muscle for days

Yup. The gymnasts are dropping dead every single day. It's all because of overtraining

Exercise should be brief a d infrequent.

I thought I was overtraining but it turns out I was just lifting heavier than I can handle. If one rep is a hard grinder and the next rep requires over a minute to attempt and is another hard grinder and then you have to rerack the weight in order to get the third rep which is another hard grinder then you're lifting too heavy. Also doing 95% of your one rep max for 15 reps probably isn't good for you. I liked to think I could put 10 more pounds on the bar after every third workout but that's just not realistic.

So Mike mentzer was right! Work out 30 minutes a day.

I have had poor sleeping habits because i exercise too much not giving my body a break!

I drink water before bed

Is it bad to walk for 4 hours every morning and then go running

How do I get rid of really big calf muscles ): I’m a girl and it doesn’t look very ncie

Clicked on a video about overtraining. Got a lecture about sleep. Wtf?
