In reply to Shane.

@Shane. Try searching for MUSCLEHACKER. Or ‘Targeted Hypertrophy Training 3-day’ or ‘Targeted Hypertrophy Training 5-day’.
That should get it.

In reply to Ulysses.

@Ulysses. Yes I’m talking about an inadequate recovery period between workouts here as overtraining.
This would differ from longer recovery requirements, which I call systemic recovery. I factor the need for full systemic recovery into my THT training by advising a week off after the end of every 10wk training cycle.
But point taken.

Overtraining is usually about the syndrome that takes place after not recovering properly for a longer time period. Usually has other symptoms associated (lack of energy, altered psychological state etc.).

The term usually employed for the short-term losses Mark describes is overreaching. Not that it makes any of the article’s arguments false.

Why do people believe they can just train and train and train more and grow? *scratches head* Good post Mark.
