Arnold says overtraining is a meme. Is it a meme?

Not even baiting tho I stopped doing legs except deads on pull days

"Remember when I said there's no such thing as overtraining? Well. I was wrong. What I meant was if you're working out hard, eating 10K cals a day, got your gear, and getting your sleep in.... But you know."
-Rich Piana

Not at all. There is a certain amount you can workout, eat, and rest for maximum effieceny and gains. Overtraining is real, doesnt mean you shouldn't go as hard as possible tho.

True overtraining only happens to olympic athletes and takes months to recover from. While overtaxation is a real thing you have to not be a bitch about it. Find out how much is too much for you and slowly increase volume and training days.

dock working is not max training lifting

Kys
This is true

do you believe that diddling around in the gym for 45 minutes at a time is more exhausting than an eight hour+ shift in an intensive manual labour job

funny thing is the mutt bastard looks the most like him out of his kids

But people who are serious about lifting tell you normals that overtraining is a meme because it is obvious from a distance that it is something you will never have to worry about.
>unless you "train like an athlete"
Which is to say unless you spend something like 15-20 hours a week working out.
>and you'll say, but Jeff I train really hard, I do arms four, five times a week...

Can I do greyskull m-saturday?

no such thing as over training, only under recovering.
99% of people do not have optimal recovery (sleep, food, lack of stress)

It's a meme if you only take in 2000 cal a day

Its more likely that youre undereating

No it's not.
The only people who do think overtraining is a meme or being "a pussy" are fucking losers who've never pushed themselves hard enough to ever hit that wall and gear heads who lie through their teeth.

by definition a high intensity workout requires a rest period to supercompensate for the stress in the muscles. if you do a high intensity workout twice a day for example, you'd obviously overtrain within a week

Arnold didn't say it was a meme. He said that personally, he didn't suffer from overtraining ever. Some of the bodybuilders that trained with him did suffer from it, though (which he acknowledged).

>eating 10K cals a day
I'd be a legit bloatmax at 10K a day

Who is this fucking loser? Is this spam?

Mind over matter.

Not that guy, but I worked manual labor and it's not constant maxing out. If anything the main factor is endurance/work capacity. We lifted shit all day, which means teamwork. Only the newbies would try to lift everything by themselves, and they'd be exhausted and useless before lunchtime.

been lifting since february and i had a deload week last week cuz i was stalling on every week and felt like shit. Came back on monday and smashed every pr and done so again today. I say it ain't a meme if you're a beginner.

Right but for 99% of people who think they are over training actually just have shit tier recovery protocols
