Why is training like talking to a fucking genie, where if you do one thing slightly wrong, you wind up with disastrous results?

Why is training like talking to a fricking genie, where if you do one thing slightly wrong, you wind up with disastrous results? How do I avoid this? I was going to run his six week program, and this completely turned me off to it.
Honestly he was probably doing something closer to his 6 week program on the left. He has been doing ultra specific powerlifting min max for the past 5 years.

It isn't. In fact this mindset will only make you scared. How much can you bench or squat when you're scared and back off? It's the same principle with your broader training effort.
Overtraining isn't real you're doing great bro keep it up
Sleep enough, eat enough, walk around outside enough and don't work the same muscles day after a day and you'll be good bro
I literally will train to the point of not being able to sleep at night and my dick not working. Pretty much the only reason I follow other people's programming is because left to my own devices I'll burn myself out.
I monitor my weight, it's the training itself. I've been in situations where the training stress was just too high to actually receive any sort of benefit from it, I know what it feels and looks like.

I had a similar problem when I was a neet, I'd take dexamphetamine or dmaa preworkout and do useless sets for 4 hours and wake up every day with aching joints and tendons but no gains for months on end. I'd always be unsatisfied with my workout because I had this mentality that I'm only doing good sets if my muscles hurt like a motherfricker during rest periods, so I ended up just chasing that and always doing "one more" set or exercise or superset or dropset or whatever.
After the first hour or so your muscles will start getting exponentially more and more fatigued until you can't do any more meaningful sets even if your cns is cranked up to 11 on stims.
Idk if your situation is similar, but I personally like working out twice a day for ~45 minutes at a time. I'll do mostly bb lifts in the morning, insert whatever minimalist low rep strength workout you like, then high rep (15-20) slower eccentric machine/cable kind of shit in the afternoon.
This might sound like a blackpill but I took it pretty positively, but whatever body you end up with down the line is what you would have achieved no matter what split or program or peepoo you followed. Assuming you have diet and sleep down, programming doesn't matter at all with the only difference being that certain body parts will be slightly bigger than others following certain programs. Just don't skip entire bodyparts and you're good to go

The problem is I tend to overtrain a lot. I don't know why, maybe it's just a personality thing.

Eat more? Sounds like you're just putting yourself in a deficit.

>overtraining isn't a thing
I don't understand how people can say this when it's a common problem and 50% of programming.
>overtraining isn’t real
>don’t work the same muscles day after day
The cognitive dissonance is real

thats just wrong
I just finished my first run of his 6 week program. squat, deadlift and even ohp 1rm went up at least 5kg but my bench didn't move at all. weird.
This is the most common complaint with his program.

you can undertrain certain bodyparts for more symmetry
That only happens when you stop roiding. Natties don't face the danger of losing muscle mass that easily.
train like a bodybuilder
What happens when you become a libertarian, sorry anon.
