I know when I am overtrained: my joints and muscles are in pain and i can’t fall asleep. It’s a sign I need to rest.

What do you do if you have been over-training for 30 years?

If I only knew you when I needed to!

Can I take the rest of my life off? lol!

In reply to Philipp. It depends, When I am really overtrained I my eye would twitch every 20-40 minutes throughout the day. If I am only a little overtrained I would get twitches 4-5 times a day all together. It can be any muscle in your body, with me it just happened to be my eye, sometimes it can be in your leg or arm or anywhere else on the body.

How often do you have these twitching that you would call it one of the symptoms?

Well you’re right. Not everyone is prepared for that. Many people fail mentally, e.g. Squat heavy every day.

I’m always full of energy + massive eating makes me love me routine even more.

I just love practicing my pet exercises: thick bar pullups/chinups and handstand pushups (or any kind of vertical press).

@evilcyber
Thanks for correcting me. Yes I was wrong about them.

Anyway I’ve said mine and I’m out of this discussion. Each to his own. I hope your training works for you as it did for me.

Check youtube for Hannibal interview, that guy trains everyday if I’m correct with no rest days using calisthenics (the way I train).

I was a tree planter for 5 years. Yes, I woke up every morning sore and went to bed sore every night. Would I volunteer to do that again, hell no. I did it because I needed to eat and pay my bills.

In reply to Pargustak. My hubby was a natural body builder for 15 years. He was one of the guys who used commonsense (no steroid,and no lifting to death).Most of his fellow competitors and so called hard knockers from that period are now suffering from back, knee and every other joint pain. You mentioned with good rehab suff out there most injuries can be avoided, who wants to pay or have money for a bunch of rehab so they can keep banging themselve up over and over again. The professionals don't do that after they retire once the team sport therapist, masseur and doctors are not avaliable to them. If you're able to keep your current level of training for 10 years then kuddos to you. Who wants to pop advil everyday.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Especially early in his career, Paul Anderson had many injuries. And Marvin Eder never trained as you claim:

“At the beginning I trained every other day. Then as I advanced I would do split training: upper body one day, legs and mid section the next day. Then as I advanced beyond that I started to do Olympic lifting along with the training and at that time it went to four times a week where I would work out Monday and Tuesday, rest Wednesday, workout Thursday and Friday and rest the weekends because the training was exceptionally heavy. That was the last type of training that I did.”
