Okay. First time poster, try not to hate. I am a GA football coach at the college level. Therefore, I work in close proximity to a weightroom. Whenever I get bored or just have some dead time I go and do a couple of sets of whatever day it is (uppers, lowers, olympic etc) I ten d to do this several times in a day. Also, I do Crossfit every morning with some of the other coaching staff.
So, I guess my question is how real is the risk of overtraining? Are there any exercises I should be/not be doing to minimize the risk of injury? As far as I can tell, my routine has not had any adverse effects on my body. Any help at all would be useful.
You guys are right that was a stupid question. I read yalls comments first then re-read what I wrote and I do sound like a dipshit. Anyway what I was really asking is does anyone think that working out numerous time (3-5) times in a day a bad idea. Im not asking about torn muscles or excessive strain. Im asking about testosterone levels versus cortisol levels. So my question is does spreading a total lift out over several hours make any difference or should it be all done at once?
Also, to answer your question I got my job because I was good at playing football, it doesnt have anything to do with picking up heavy objects and setting them back down.
I don’t think that people realize the various types of coaches that a football program would have. You never said that you were their strength coach right?
I’m sure you’ll be just fine giving enough food and rest. I would err on making sure you don’t fail at any reps and that each rep is explosive in nature. Coach Thib is a great resource for you in this regard.
