I've been doing 6 days a week for about 5 years now. Only 4 days of the 6 are full weights / cardio. 1 day is just weights (legs day) and 1 day is primarily cardio with a few weight exercises thrown in for 3-day-a-week muscle groups (forearms, calves, abs).
I'm not sure if this is over training?

i used to train 7 days a week, but it didnt feel like i was over training because i gave each muscle group proper rest and my diet was perfect. i was in the best shape of my life. now, I go 5 days a week or so....usually 4 weekdays and 1 weekend day. I will typically both lift and do cardio 4 days and just cardio (maybe abs) the 5th day.

4 Days: 3 on 1 off 1 on 2 off. Everyday I do some cardio as well. I have been thinking about going 5 but 4 seems to be working fine for me and I am making progress.
6 or 7 days a week all year round IMO is over kill.

The world needs people like me to remind them of their collective stupidity. If you look at this objectively, I'm actually doing the world a favor by exposing flaws they otherwise might just let roll past, perpetuating a cycle of stupidity.

i agree with this, but some people enjoy that particular style of working out so I cant hate or judge. Originally Posted by LittleBouncer

yeah a lot of people like it i enjoy the skill of power tho, i look at it more as practicing my strength rather than working out "dumb muscle" Originally Posted by DEEPER KEMICAL
