is training everyday really good?

[pyrovampx]

I tried training everyday and just noticed I'm exhausted at training everyday and Less energy and sore everyday and muscles don't develop well.

I trained 3 days a week and noticed my energy went through the roof and my muscles starting to develop more and my abs were coming out alot clearer. I got more explosive during training too. I felt energized each session. My muscles never felt sore and I can go harder and harder each time.


So far all I;ve had is positive results with training 2-3 why do people train 5 days a week.

It just depends on how well conditioned and used to training your body is. I was training 5 days a week until December and did nothing over christmas so I'm taking it steady 3 days a week until I'm back into the swing of things, then I'll step it up a gear.

Exactly what i was doing bro, training everyday, feeling like i was more tired everyday and sore aswell. But thanks to GroundSt.Pound explained to me the importance of resting and taking some days off. Now i do my miles without any problem no soreness and with energy to spare, i take the weekends off.

with properly placed rest days and structure you have time to recover and time to improve.

so fri= rest sat=improve sun=active rest mon=rest tues wed thur= regular routine. eventually you could even replace your monday rest with an active rest day and just have an easy day on sunday then you would be working out 6 times a week with more then enough recovery time and room for improvement.

The 3 pillars of training are training, nutrition and rest. Any training should be representative of the event you have in mind. If it is amateur boxing and 4 2 minute rounds. You will be doing 8 minutes of fighting with 3 breaks. Your training should be organised to support that so that you can fight comfortably at the require intensity and pace. Doing loads and loads of long long runs or long duration low intensity work outs is not going to prepare you. If you were running you would be better off doing a series of 4 high intensity 2 minute bursts rather than running large distances at a moderate pace ONCE you have a good level of core fitness. Dorian Yates did 3 1hour 10 minute super super high high high intensity workouts a week and that was it. He could not work out at that intensity for longer without diluting the intensity. He said you can either work out hard or long but not both. Many top athletes are becoming more aware of the dangers of over-training, You become bored and your body will eventually rebel and overall performance drop. You also need rest to recover a key pillar of training and good nutrition and to get the benefits f good nutrition you need rest.So rest and nutrition are critical. When you train go into the gym and mean business and go at it hard,no let off and go for quality 3 great-workouts a week is going to be a lot better for you than 7 mediocre sessions and believe me you won't be able to do 7 all out hard core sessions. Your subconscious kicks in to protect you like a circuit breaker and insures you won't overload EVEN if you think you can do it. Go for quality over quantity every time. I was a former gym rat and it took a good friend of mine a personal trainer to get me to see the light.

what were you doing during the week? i trained 5 days a week...but i was doing my gym work monday, wednesday, and friday...sparred on tuesday and thursday...i would run with my gym partners on weekends sometimes...but the majority of the time i would wait till inside the week...a few things do factor in tho...how much do you eat? are you training in the morning or the evening? and how hard are you working daily? time? weights? cardio?

unless you're a superathlete you need restitution.

I wish more people knew the importance of rest and I'm glad, OP that you've discovered it.



The only way you can train that much and not have to worry about regression, is if you are using AAS because using steroids virtually eliminate the possibility of overtraining, but even then most guys that use steroids still take 1 or 2 days off from training.
