Is This What "Overtraining" Looks Like?

[Voxel]

I feel like this might be worth quoting in this thread,

@Christian_Thibaudeau

While no studies have looked into the relative effectiveness of various intensiveness/volume pairings (and it would be hard to do anyway because its hard to externally evaluate intensiveness) I believe that…

• 6-8 weekly work sets/muscle at an RPE of 9-10
• 9-11 weekly work sets/muscle at an RPE of 8
• 12-14 weekly work sets/muscle at an RPE pf 7

Are all pretty much equivalent provided that one uses a similar loading/rep range.

And also, with @T3hPwnisher already being in this thread I’d be remiss not to mention Paul Kelso. I’ll paraphrase (couldn’t find the direct quote),

20 sets per body per workout

Meanwhile you are doing 28, 32, and 20 sets (Push/Pull/Legs)
