is training everyday really good?

[TheNegation]

YOu are either

1. not eating right or enough
2.not sleeping well or enough
3.not running properly or enough
4.lazy
5. **********/have sex to much
or
6. not focused


pick one of the 6 or more

you need to run atleast 4-6 days a week (preferably 6)
and 5 days a week of a pure boxers workout
the 6th day should be light


if you are looking to compete that is

if not then what you are doing is alright

Masturbating and having sex having an impact on training is an old wives tale that has proven to be bull****.

I don't agree with much else either. You don't need to run that much in one week. It's wholly unnecessary.

GroundSt.Pound is right . Not only must you rest sufficiently to recover but overtraining leads to stress mentally and physically. It just does not work and you will break down. I recommend hard workouts but fewer of them with a lot of rest in between and good nutrition. There has been a lot of research into this.

You guys gotta keep in mind that the comments of GroundStPound mainly is about bodybuilding coz that is his thing. Rest is more importmant for bodybuilding than boxing for muscle growth, hell even olympic weightlifters will train 6 days and often training the same body part consecutively because they are going for strength, not just building mass. Boxers also have to stay at a certain weight like olympic weightlifters. Dont get me wrong you have ta rest but alot depends on the intensity of your workouts, not just how many days. you can train 6 days a week but not all should be balls to the wall high intensity 2-3hr workouts, but shorter and occasionally low intensity.

I don't train for bodybuilding. I implement isometrics and hypertrophy geared exercises into my routine, but I'm not a bodybuilder by definition.

Rest is important when it pertains to physical activity of any kind. I don't care what it is.

People act like training boxing isn't physically demanding, it is and rest is necessary.

Keeping your weight stable is necessary, yes I agree, however keeping your weight stable can also be done through diet.

I use to train 2 days on, 1 off, 2 days on, 1 off, and then start all over. That was with me working different groups every time and on the 2nd week I would always rest an extra day at the end.


Now though I workout 2 days, 1 off, 2 days on again, and then 2 days off. Thats my 7 day cycle. I use to start it on Monday and have Wednesday and the Weekends off but its hard to find time to workout on week days so now I start on Wednesday. Im on Wed & Thur, off Fri, on Sat & Sun, off Mon & Tues. That is the best I think because if you have a job then you can still workout 4 times a week while only have 2 of the 4 on week days

There is nothing wrong with training everyday. I only see two things wrong with training everyday...


1) Max-training everyday.

By that I mean, lifting your max everday, running your max everyday... to failure everyday. That kinda stuff. It can lead to injuries. Shin splints from running too much, torn muscles, bursitis, damaged ligaments etc etc.

2) Boredom.

You gotta be pretty creative with your workouts. Doing the same routine, even if it is every other day. You can get bored.

Other than that. Go ahead and train everyday. Nothing wrong with it. Some people will say dont but screw that. Let them do what they want. It wont hinder you, you just gotta remember to mix it up; upper body, lower body, cardio. If you want to see muscle/strength gains and fat % decrease.

I disagree. I think healing & recovery is a huge part of training. Its just as big as the training part. You need to take a break in between or you will just burn yourself out with no real growth in any aspect. Your muscles will break down. You have to let them recover and regroup

sounds like some one thats trying to diet and work out at the same time.

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.

If you just wanna look good naked you can get away with 3-4 days per week.

If you're training for a fight you should be doing 5-6 days a week.

If you're Paulie Malignaggi you should get tested for STDs.
