But the fact that his weight on the bar kept increasing, despite training every day, is impressive. By some people standards, he is overtraining and should not have made any gains.

Not training for strength man. The guy is small, could care less about his numbers. Shirmp would not even look big in clothes.

Currently doing 6x a week.

- legs
- arms
- delts/traps
- legs
- back
- chest

So far, it isn't bad. I usually do 6x a week until I feel really beat up and then drop back to 4-5x for a few weeks.

Ideal once a week per body part routine. Keep pumpin'

But surely other bodyparts have to be left untouched or very little training during such a phase.
But c'mon... Is that an example??? Something of a crazy extreme that is supposed to prove a point her. I really don't think so.
If you guys believe in it so much, why not give it a whirl.

I await your real life experience from it. Then post how great it is.

Well, who knows if he was training other bodyparts. I don't know.

As stated, I have trained 7 days per weeks for weeks straight, however I did rotate all my bodyparts. According to Coach, you can do this and not overtrain. Dont get me wrong, I do not advocate training the same bodypart every day, but you can train 7 days per week as long as you rotate the muscles you work each day.

Ive never had any negative experiences from training this much.

Well, my legs are 2x/week because they suck so bad that I am considering amputating them.

I've tried the 7 day thing, would love for it to work. I think the fact i rely on stimulants too much, it backfires against me. Stims work great when used 4 days and that's my best split. Would like to do 5 day split, but the part where you train 3 days in a row, no matter how easy the 3rd day, just breaks me.

Mike Mentzer had a great saying on this topic. Something along the lines of "One's ability to sustain a 20, 30 or 60 minute workout is like one's ability to stay out in the sun. Some get a sunburn after 20, 30 or 60 minutes. It's about finding out how much time you can spend in the sun without getting burned"

You can take a given bodypart and specialize on it for a while, but obviously gotta back off others, then try bring it all into balance.

Mon - Chest/Back/Calves

Tuesday - Shoulders/Arms/Abs

Wednesday - Legs

Thursday - Chest/Back/Calves

Friday - Shoulders/Arms/Abs

Saturday - Legs

Sunday - Off

Training a body part once a week is useless.
looks like a good split I might try this for my next show. Last show I trained 8 weeks straight. .no rest days except for the last 3 days before the comp.

Did you not watch the video ???  It is in fact someone's real-life experience from it and how great it was for them.  There are also numerous people posting about how this approach has worked for them, and we had a giant thread about it just a month or two ago (no one's workout) with numerous success stories.

Nobody is trying to claim it's the "best" way to train but if you want to discredit it, which seems to be your goal for some reason, you need some stronger arguments than "CNS burnout" which is the worst type of broscience nonsense.

key word why it's just pointless to debate with you.
So... Give it a try as I said if you love it so much, tell us how great it is after!
This one has been beaten enough man, getting overtrained,lol...

Are you dense?  At least four people just in the last page or two have already told you this.  Someone even posted a video.  It is not at all an uncommon training approach around here.

You are not "debating" anyone, you just keep shouting that you're right when it doesn't seem like too many people agree with you.

Lol, you are wasting your time with this fool. Some people do not deserve the knowledge.

I just finished 10 days in a row. Had a good chest/tri workout today. I have allowed longer breaks between sets, I had been doing about 90 seconds, now it's closer to 2 or 3 minutes.

I have decided it isn't a good idea to do a preworkout so many days in a row, think I'll stick with coffee if I'm going to be lifting like this. Two more days then I'll have a little over a week off due to Chrismas stuff.

Right now I think I'll shoot for 6 days a week when I start back up and see how that goes.

I just have never found that this kind of thing works well for recovery. For me. Even 4 days a week- the original Mentzer routine eventually led to over training. The Scott and Arnold routines- overtrained in a week. I was never a fast gainer. But on less frequent training I explode.

We've all posted pics (most of us anyway).  This goes both ways if you want to demand someone's pic to assess their credibility.  Where's yours?  Why don't you show us what a real bodybuilder who trains so smartly looks like?

I'm not saying that can't work. I'M not a low volume natzi... What we got here are some clowns saying you can max out EVERY FUCKIN' day and make gains. Sure, of course.
Whatever guys...
