So I a friend of mine is a personal trainer at my gym. Well he is die hard Bodybuilder...and recently he has gained about 15 pounds in last 3 months. Now he is the type of guy he would never take steroids...I know this for sure.
He has basically started force feeding the hell out of his body tons and tons of calories a day all being very very clean. I mean this guys is by the book perfect with nutrition.
Here is the thing...I ask him how many sets he is doing b/c I feel like he is overtraining.
He tell me he is doing 20 sets per big bodypart 4 days a week. So for example his chest and back get 20 sets a piece on MOnday Wednesday. Friday and Sunday.
I told him this is like 80 some sets a week and is EXTREMELY overtraining. Now I know my stuff and I know for sure this is beyond overtraining even if he was on roids its severe overtraining, but he is making PHENOMENAL progress...so of course he is not listening to me? He thinks he can eat enought to not overtrain...however Overtraining is from CNS...not muscle?
I know I am right...but how the hell do I prove it...not that it matters...its just me doubting myself?
