Overtraining is a myth. You will end up with more gains. But some of the time, especially first starting out, you'll be sore and wont be able to lift as much. But it's overall a higher net gain than normal training.
Adding onto this, I forgot to mention that your joint/tendon health is a whole other story. Don't be dumb, stop training if you start getting pain. Also gradually increase your training, don't just start doing deadlifts 3x a week out of nowhere.
Sam is the reason im going to start using steroids
I had such a head start and some zoomer became a mini rich piana? frick that im getting huge too, i don't think the sides are even all that
if you're actually being serious, start with test only and then try other compounds in later cycles, this way you can know which compounds exactly causes problems for your body so you can stay away from it and use something different
Just do a PPL or rotate major muscles used and you might be fine.
If you hammer heavy compounds every day you will break, or take a rest day because (xyz) hurts.
I’m not in any pain I just feel fatigued and slightly sore. Should I just rest today
what's your schedule? If there are parts of your body you don't normally train(there are) you can do those.
Generally calves, forearms, and lats/upperback can take a frickton of volume.

Just an example of a common lifting series that targets different groups so you don't get nagging injuries.
Oh, and if your legs are undeveloped switch to an upper lower.
>Oh, and if your legs are undeveloped switch to an upper lower
it's opposite, PPL forces you to do legs at the same frequency as arms and delts meanwhile with U/L you can do wtf you want, e.g U/L/U/x/U/L/x with the emphasis on upper day towards whatever you prefer/can get away with
I have landed on a FB/x/U/x 4-day split after fricking around with different permutations of U/L for close to a year now

I have landed on a FB/x/U/x 4-day split after fricking around with different permutations of U/L for close to a year now
eh, you can just skip leg day on either ppl or U/L
If you are doing FB/x/U/x you kinda have changed it anyways, which is fine.
I mainly said PPL for OP, since he was talking working out every day. So he can do PPL twice a week and a frickaround day after.
of course you can change PPL into PPLPPx instead so you only have one leg day too.
More important that OP changes his muscles worked everyday so he can recover fine while not doing too much volume until he is ready.
You'll get bored of training, quit, and make zero gains.
Yeah a real issue.
I trained 3 days a week full body but now that I train a brosplit I train everyday. Very easy to train everyday when doing a brosplit. The sessions are far easier and shorter and far less taxing on the body when you run a brosplit because you’re only doing 1-2 strenuous compound per session usually compared to a full body where you do like 5-6 strenuous compounds which brutalises your CNS
You will get joint/ tendon pain like I did and have stop for at least a few weeks. I felt great until the day I didn't and got inflammation in multiple joints at once. Alternate light and heavy days, don't spam the same joints day after day, warm up more consistently, rest on your rest days and find some other activity to focus on.
depends on how long it's been since you worked the muscle last >I have to trake a rest day even though it's been 3 days since I hit chest... because I just do okay
depends. If you do a brosplit and have 1-2 easier days (cardio or arms only) then it's manageable. I found having at least one day off is necessary however.
you'll get bigger faster obviously. The more you exercise the better your results... also it's bad to stop exercising, as in, you should be exercising all day or else you can kiss your gains goodbye. morons who aren't lifting for 16 hours a day will never make it and get the rope

>5-6 strenuous compounds
On these splits you really only have 1-3 "main" compounds which you push, then you sub out with variations that are self limiting e.g heavy back squat day 1 + RDL for reps and volume well shy of failure, then heavy deadlift + front squat day 2. Or in another rep threshold.
The advantage over whatever flavor of a brosplit is frequency for strength specificity, if I bench one time a week only I maintain at best. I agree squatting x3 a week is excessive if you ran that kind of program.
Go hard on your full body session on Monday and try replicate that on Wednesday, not gona happen, your cns will be fried.
You literally have to hold back on a full body routine to avoid fricking your cns so you can actually progress on the next workout
With a brosplit you have 7 days between a Squat, so you can go hard as frick because you won’t have to Squat again for a week so you don’t have to hold back. On a high frequency routine you actually have to hold back and make sure you don’t go too hard because you have to squat again in 48 hours —- and that is why I stopped full body routines and went full bro mode
You become an hero

Arent rest days supposedly the most important part of lifting though?
Rest days are a myth.
T dyel moron
How does that even make sense if I’m lifting everyday, dumbass dyel.
Rhabdomyolysis from “overtraining” is also a myth. Not even a real medical condition.
Adding onto this, I forgot to mention that your joint/tendon health is a whole other story. Don't be dumb, stop training if you start getting pain. Also gradually increase your training, don't just start doing deadlifts 3x a week out of nowhere.
you'll look like this

if you're actually being serious, start with test only and then try other compounds in later cycles, this way you can know which compounds exactly causes problems for your body so you can stay away from it and use something different
just try it out.
Take a rest day if you feel you need it. Most people don't work out intense enough to require one despite what they may think.
I’m not in any pain I just feel fatigued and slightly sore. Should I just rest today

I prefer torso, arms, legs.

yup
You will eventually become weak enough where you are not performing as good as you usually do.
You will get joint/ tendon pain like I did and have stop for at least a few weeks. I felt great until the day I didn't and got inflammation in multiple joints at once. Alternate light and heavy days, don't spam the same joints day after day, warm up more consistently, rest on your rest days and find some other activity to focus on.

>I have to trake a rest day even though it's been 3 days since I hit chest... because I just do okay
What if you only train on the weekends + some cardio during the week?
>Cardio
slow gains but good cardio and probably lean
You increase your chances of injury
depends. If you do a brosplit and have 1-2 easier days (cardio or arms only) then it's manageable. I found having at least one day off is necessary however.
you'll get bigger faster obviously. The more you exercise the better your results... also it's bad to stop exercising, as in, you should be exercising all day or else you can kiss your gains goodbye. morons who aren't lifting for 16 hours a day will never make it and get the rope
kek like this fricking moron
Idk, but logically, should it matter if you do 40 sets over 3 workouts per week, or 40 sets over 7 workouts per week?
You'll get bored of training, quit, and make zero gains.

CNS fatigue being real would imply overtraining is real. Are you saying overtraining isn’t a myth?
Do a 5x5 and try your hardest to go up 5lbs every workout. I can't say it's all CNS fatigue, but the joint pain+low back pain+mental fatigue is real.
rest days aren't real
So is it a 'lose" day?
