Working Out Every Day?

Depends.
How long do you train for per session, and what are your goals?

About an hour, my goals are to get my lower abs developed and get my pecs a little more bigger for now. My overall is to be huge o.O

Okay, since your overall goal is to bulk, then yes you are definately overtraining. Not allowing enough rest for muscle repair. Especially since you're training high intensity.

If you are going to work out every day, then design a proper workout split.. 1 muscle group per day, maximum 2. Supporting muscle groups can be added to the workout, but leave antagonist muscles for another day.

Oh, and just so you know... I have a little experience in doing what you're trying to accomplish. I'm 6'1" and went from 153lb to 241lb in around 2 years... Lean and muscular. It's about training, diet, and dedication.

If you need more information or would like more detail, let me know..

Hey can I ask what your workout schedule is?

Hey there!
For the past two months i've been working out everyday and being very careful of what I eat. Thankfully i'm loosing weight and feeling great.
The only place I feel like i'm not loosing is my upper back area. U know how when it bulges out of your clothing a little. It really bothers me. It's not like I have so much weight to loose either. Are there any excersizes you recommend that will tone that area?
Thanx

Well you remind me of someone. Do not go over an hour everyday, you could harm yourself eventually. Because the person I kno hoo works out started to look very skinny and looked almost dead. So don't over do your workout. And after dont eat alot thats also very bad. Drink fluid but not too much either.

Justin you rock, I am pretty impressed with your help on here. :)
i also need some help guys.

I need you comments on my workout plan, though many times I give up once in a month for a whole week feeling am not going anywhere. But the end of it all I know this is totally a self driving thing and without that... Anyway I have been working out for a bout a year and a half, I weigh about 147 pounds [which makes me feel very very small] about 5.3" [which makes me feel very very short] am 25 [and feeling uncomfortable with my size]

my schedule which am gonna adjust with help from yours.


Wednesday: legs and shoulders
thursday: rest
friday: run for about 15mins back and chest
saturday: rest
sunday: rest
monday: 15mins running, arms [biceps and triceps]
tuesday: rest

i workout for about 2hrs, 4-3 exercise for each body part, 4-3 sets, 15-10 reps of each set.


Target: I wanna look like brad pitt :) .


I have no appetite cos even when I pig-out like hell I never gain any size, yah prolly stress and sleep but I do sleep for 8-6.

For the fact that I have no appetite I wanted to supplement my meals though am totally green on supplements any advice [not steriods at any cost]

thanks :wink:

Hey hows it goin!
Ive been goin to the gym 6 days out of the week. On one day I will work on my biceps, and triceps, and on the next ill work on my chest. Thats pretty much my cycle. I was just wondering if im overtraining?

6 times a week I think is tooooooo much work, I would though say it depends on how much you workout per day and what your targets are :)
i do 3 time and am pretty impressed with the results

Well, I pretty want bigger arms, and a harder chest. Those are pretty much my targets. Im also taking creatine and drinking protein shakes.

I bought that whey protein drink (which tastes nasty btw) and I just want to know how much crunhes, and brenchpress's I should do, every day every second day, third? And should I drink that everyday even if not working out, or just after working out?

I am a fitness fanatic, I like to workout 6 days a week on either the treadmill and curves(my gym) I haven't been making it to the gym lately but been using the treadmill alot more, do you gain more muscle mass on the treadmill???? Because I really feel I have. The scale says a weight that I am very upset about especially after working out 6 days a week and eating very little. Im worried that im gaining alot of muscle mass and that is why the scale says a higher weight. Or should I stop working out 6 days a week and go back to about 4 as long as I eat healthy and not pig out on junk. How do u get rid of some of the muscle mass??????

Im 21 years old, 6' tall and about 150. I started lifting weights every day about a month ago and I went from 145-150. However, reading these posts im far overtraining... I normally have only a two day cycle, say: one day ill do bi's, tris, abs, and back, and the next ill do shoulders, lats, and legs (with some cardio both days). Then on the third day I start the cycle again and do bis tris abs and back. Is this so bad? Because the groups are getting a day of rest. I drink whey protein every morning and have noticed results but am afraid they could be alot better with the amount of time I put in. Ill generally workout 1-1 1/2 hours a day.
Also, im the type of person who really likes working out and needs to do it everyday to feel good, any suggestions??? Thanks alot

Just to let you guys know, I think you have a MUCH higher chance of getting advice by making your own post for your specific needs. The original poster here wrote this with the intent to get advice for himself and only himself. Some have given advice, but the rest of you guys spammed it and its very difficult to keep track. I would give ALL of you guys advice, but seeing them listed one after another on the same thread just makes me lazy and confused. I don't know who wants what after trying to read them, and if you noticed a lot of other people aren't responding to your specific posts. So if you want advice, make your own post with your own needs.
