Lift 6-7x days a week?

[gracie bjj]

i just got back from my sons school,he wasnt feeling well and i almost lost it on some fat ass teacher who kept telling me he doesnt look sick, i told her mind her own business and leave us alone.hes sneazing and has a tempeture,even the nurse said hes sick. i mumbled(fat ass) as i walked away and she turned around and made a noise with her mouth

[andreisdaman]

I have no job and a home gym. Stay at home dad.

That is awesome my friend....you are living the dream.....when I was laid off for nine months I was in the gym everyday, sometimes twice a day and was able to play with my kids, go pick them up from school and help them with homework....it was the best time of my life!

[ritch]

Eh, nonsense. Sometimes I've trained for weeks straight with no breaks. Granted, Ive always had a decent diet. Back in the day people used to train 6x per week all the time. Now all of a sudden if you train more than 5x per week you're over training. Who comes up with this shit? 

People who make progress. Intensity and frequency are strongly affected by each other. Once you tap into your upper intensity levels, it can drain you like you have no idea. "No idea" being key words, key words that describe you in every post you make in regards to training and real life experience.

Good day to you Mega stupid stinkin' troll.

Nice job shaming that fat whale gracie

theres no way you can have a job and train that much...LOL..unless you have a home gym?

I have a home gym and still struggle with the time.

i did experiance CNS burnout in my younger days,i was training a double split 7 days a week and was natural,after 1 month i was sick all the time,diarrea,just wiped the fuck out 24/7 and my resting heart rate was off the charts it was so high in the morning when i woke up. i didnt even want to train anymore to be honest. a neurologist told me that i burned out my adrenals and needed a break for 3 weeks and relax, he did some test on me to come to that conclusion.i was also doing cardio everyday on top of that,my training was brutal also,im talking forced reps on every set,negatives ect

Many true symptoms here of overtraining. A thread on the topic is overdue. 3 weeks is tough to sit out. I lose a a lb a day when I take time off like clockwork.

I used to train 7 days a week and even did stretches of 7 days a week twice a day......it didn't last for me.   Life happens, priorities change....not everyone opens their own gym or personal trains or sets up a home gym or is passionate about a life of bb preparation and competition.  If you are then great.

When family and careers kick into high gear most just do their best to train as regularly as possible.  Some weeks it's 5 days, some weeks it's 2 days, some weeks it's no days.  

The group of folks that are lifelong, hardcore bbs is so small that as compared to the majority it wouldn't be felt if it suddenly vanished.....might not even be noticed.  That's not a slight either....it just is.

For the majority of us that's all we can do.  

I have stretches today of 5-6 days a week....good solid training.  

I have others where I'm lucky to go once or twice a week for a month or two and I just do my best.

If I had my way I'd train all the time, but today there's more than me in my lifestyle.  

There are stretches today where I train at 4:30AM and others where it's right after work each day....just depends.

I used to take to heart those that insisted on being all hardcore and would give me the ole, "You find a way....you always make time....it's not easy....if it were easy everyone would do it.....that's what separates us!".    Super duper.....been there, done that and preached it.

LOL!  Today I've accepted that things are different, but I try to keep training as regular as possible.  Some months are great, some are lackluster.....I don't beat myself up....I let bodybuilders do the bodybuilding.

good post

not being able to exercise in some fashion 5-6 days a week would give me a meltdown at this point in my life, but i'm making progress.  moving from the "young gracie bjj" to "wise old man of steel" end of the spectrum, slowly but surely, i guess.

Real. Like you, you mean?

I lose 5 pounds every time I take a morning shit.

Nope, do not have a home gym. I've trained that much with a job. Though, I have rather flexible hours with my job, depending on the week/day.

I lift 3 times per week for 30 minutes max.
It's largely enough to build any type of body.

And no, it has nothing to do with not knowing what to say. But I am not doing to debate/argue (whatever you want to call it) with someone who has to rely on personal attacks.

I have no problem saying something back when I know the conversation is going to be an actual back-and-forth, instead of just name calling. That gets old, except with goodrum.

Gotcha. Because you never attack people here, never...

[SF1900]

Rarely. A very select few, like Goodrum or shizzo, who really feed off of that negative attention. I think it actually empowers them.

When I am trying to have a serious conversation, I try to avoid ad hominem attacks.

As for training 6-7x per week, i guess that all depends on a lot of factors. Id be hard pressed to say it could never be done. Even Coach agrees that you can train that much, as long as its done appropriately.

Then how is it I see you being a complete turd in most threads? Your tone here is cool, serious and I can respect that. But in other threads? Not so sure...

[Tennisballz]

Lately I've been training every other day or every third day doing a full body workout.  Works just fine for me.  I lift pretty intense and doing 3 sets on each body part I'm done in about an hour and a half.  I think way too many people overthink this.  Just lift as often as you can and use some intensity.  Unless you are competing there's no reason to beat yourself up over this.

Maxing out on the squat nearly everyday for a month.

I'm sure his CNS is fried. 

damn, i saw his CNS through his skin and it was FRIED. Looked like a fried egg. He's going to need to be in the hospital for at least 7 weeks with a totally fried CNS. Not to mention suffering the severe psychological damage of a fried CNS.
