Here’s a programming question. I know it’s painful to read through routines, but hopefully someone takes a few minutes.
For the last 8 weeks I’ve been training a fairly high volume split with each body part being hit twice every ten days (edit). Overall I feel great when I train; I’ve had some minor tightness / discomfort during / after a couple of sessions, but no injuries. I’ve grown a lot - sadly no pictures to show the change, but getting lots of compliments and my shirts are fitting a lot tighter.
Do you think this is over training / putting me at high risk of injury? (I’m 27, 5"10, 178lbs) Workouts take 1.5 - 2 hours.
