I would say that you’re not getting weaker BECAUSE you’re a relatively new guy. Less experienced lifters don’t overtrain easily and that’s what this program supposedly hinges on.
If you wanted to do “Super Accumulation” at your level of experience, I’d say you would have to lift even more frequently. But that’s not optimal for you given your experience.
“Super Accumulation” is concentrated loading. That means doing more work than your body can recover from. It sounds like you are doing distributed loading, which means you can recover between workouts. It’s more work than you’re used to, but it’s still distributed, which explains the immediate increase in gains you’re having.
Depending on how concentrated or how distributed this program is TO YOU will determine how much of a “delayed transformation” you get after the end of the program.
Also, I think if nothing else, you learned alot more about what kind of programming you are capable of doing and I think next time you’ll be less afraid of overtraining (or at least you should be).[/quote]
I’m not sure about the initial statements, but that doesn’t mean they probably aren’t true. However, I do know your last statement was very true. I now know for sure that if I can handle 18 workouts in 2 weeks and still feel like i’m progressing, 4-5 a week should never be a complaint. And that’s just lifting, not cardio.
