Title: Did overtraining lead to Vic Martinez' leg injury?
Post by: Mad Nickels on April 17, 2008, 12:38:50 PM
He admits he trained legs on Sunday.

He was training them again on Tuesday when the injury occurred.

Who in the world trains legs every other day?

maybe he refers to both quads and hams as "legs" but trains them on separate days

if not, Victor Nunez fucked up

I remember him saying that he had tendonitis problems for years now. So basically it was a matter of time for him injuring his knee trying to work around the inflammation.

I'm sure Victor Nunez wasn't aware he was training legs every other day.

There are Russian powerlifting programs that have you squatting 7 days a week.  Training legs every other day isn't a bad thing if you know what you are doing.

Not really, you need are certain amount of time for the tendon to adhere to the bone. This type of thing can't be rushed.

how did arnold do his 'golden six', squats/ dead/ bench/ press/ curls, on M/W/F?

I assumed that genetics, piles of food, and gear would make a guy recover quicker
