      No don't listen to
      Only people who have been lifting consistently for a year plus can train twice per day 6 days a week. You will burn out and be under recovering. Just stay consistent with maintaining 6 days a week one session per day. Results will come.

    Determined by volume. If you're doubling your weekly volume by doing it? Your toast. If you enjoy it, have the time, and split your normal weekly volume into it and it allows you to hit the target muscle more freshly, go for it. Eg Back in the A.M and Bi's in the P.M

        Not volume by time, but by sets and reps. Take your once a day session, and split out the exercises into two sessions. If you worked back and Bi's on one day, by hitting just back in the A.M it would give your biceps which are secondary movers in your back work, time to recover for the P.M session that would be bicep focused. Enabling you to hit your bi's harder than you could have had you done them in one session after your back work. If this works and you want to increase volume, or feel you would benefit from more work, then add more sets, or another exercise, give it a shot.

    it really depends on what you're doing you don't want a more than 30% jump in volume suddenly because it usually makes you feel burnt out really quick. If you want to do cardio or something change out a lot of your compounds for accessories to make your routine less time efficient those are good ways to burn a lot of time.

        not sure. I don't think you could keep that up for long. When it comes to novice runners is you do want more than 10% increase in distance or time between sessions. When it comes to weightlifting you can ramp up volume or intensity to your breaking point then take a deload every 6 weeks and structure around that.

        this is probably one of the better read's on the topic if you can get through their rather sloppy and excessive use of acronyms that don't exist outside of it.

          Training twice a day is fine provided you don't do too much volume what is your twice a week training routine?

                today i did chest,
                6 sets bench
                3 sets incline
                3 sets cable flys
                6 sets tri's

                back/leg day is pretty similar, my gym is pretty sparse on equipment

                nothing he's being hyperbolic as a joke. But like there's diminishing returns and sometimes even regression by getting too much volume in an area in a session. There's a meta of 8-10 sets right now but everywhere you look there's exceptions and it's best not to just follow the science prescriptively if you're seeing results with something else. In essence it's compliment because he's sarcastically mocking that guy for doing something contrary to the norm.

                yeah, try moving towards things that you feel work for you rather that what theoretically should work best for everyone because it rarely does.

    Depends on volume intensity calories recovery

    I would say for the average guy it's detrimental because you most likely lose focus and just frick around in the 2nd workout

    honestly if you live like a priest with no screen, no other stimulation you could lift this much at your level. ur problem will be recover and not feeling like shit from cortisol
    are you addicted to the internet?
