Training Frequency - The over training MYTH

I will keep this short and sweet. Over training is a myth. It really is. If your sleep, hydration, and nutrition is on point you can train every single day. You can even train heavy every single day, but you need to have a solid foundation for that.

I know this goes against what most people think but try it yourself and see what happens. Your numbers will skyrocket. Oh, and this is how the chinese, russians, europeans do it. Except they train twice a day, every day.

Try it for one week. Keep in mind that sleep, hydration, and nutrition is mandatory. If you go out drinking or eat pizza all day this will not work. Always warm up, stretch, and have plenty of easy sets in before your working sets.

Chance of injury and soreness is actually decreased by training everyday simply because you don't give the body a CHANCE to seize up or get tense. The lactic acid is constantly flushed out and circulated. This is a very trippy experience. You have to try training everyday.

Leave it up to synchronicity as well. Maybe you have to skip wednesdays workout because of work, or school or something. Treat that as a rest day. Any day you can go - go!

Don't knock it till you try it. Leave comments about your experiences.
