A note for *some* FS "mutants" that seem impervious to overtraining:
https://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/overtraining-why-less-is-more.html
"The key is to find a balance between training with a high enough intensity to break down the muscle fibres without training so much that your body cannot recover from the training."
This applies to us mortals. I find the recommended ranges of sets a bit low for my taste, but I'm no longer doing "one-muscle -group-a-day" workouts. But, as the author points out, it's very much up to the individual to know their limits.
The takeaway is just to push hard, but not so hard you can't recover... and make sure to take enough rest to accommodate necessary repairs.

I wonder if the threshold for overtraining is a lot higher for an advanced lifter. I also wonder if something like this will do more harm than good for someone who is new to it who doesn't really have the ability to push themselves properly. It could maybe cause them to pull back too early.

Yeah, I have a feeling there's some kind of curve to the over training. I'm not balls to the wall but keep it as intense as I can those 3 days a week (hopefully). I almost never get sore/exhausted besides a couple hours post gym, even if I'm fasting etc.

Yeah, I can't relate to no DOMS, my whole body is sore right now.

I think I can only relate to that on legs, when 2 days later it hurts to walk up and down stairs 😩 maybe I need a dedicated leg day to bring that back.

Speaking of training. It had me thinking of one of the biggest reasons weight lifting is superior to cardio. If you're consistently weight training even days where you didn't hit your calorie goal you still made progress. Whether you're in a deficit or surplus you made "gains" whether it's muscle retention, a strength increase, or muscle gains(even if some was fat). For example today I kind of went overboard on the calories but my body is sore so I'm sure I will add a bit of lean mass. If I had just done cardio and splurged almost all of it would be fat.

Yes l believe that high intensity training is the key for a beneficial W/O..l personally work two complete muscle groups for a hr.with 60sec. rest inbetween each movement..everything is lined up so there's no goofing around setting up for the next one and when the hrs.up l feel the intensity of it all and then the next day I'll repeat a different muscle group and so forth with one day off after 3 days of working out this way each muscle group has 48 hr. to recover..then repeat.
