5 times training a week to much?

[Deusmaximus]

Can i get into overtraining? I just downloaded a AI fitness app, that designed a training plan for me. They want me to train 4 or 5 times a week.

6x ABCABC is ideal for hypertrophy

Writing a noobie program like that for my brother rn. Thinking chest/back, delt/arm, leg/trap/neck 2x/week. Good?

3x/week full body is a lot more efficient if you're just starting out

6x a week training with weights is just excessive

I'm not a big fun of working out antagonist muscles in the same day tbh

You'll either have highly intense training days (chest/back)
or moderated ones (biceps/triceps)

I prefer to do ABC with suplementary muscles because you'll usually use a big one and a smaller one (Chest/triceps and Back/biceps)


What I prefer is:

Chest/Triceps/Abs
Back/Biceps and Forearm/Shoulders
Leg/Cuff Rotator/Abs (Obliques)

That's the fucking point! 6x ABCABC was when I had the most gains

3x/week full body is a lot more efficient if you're just starting out

You won't get to work your muscles as hard as you could with full body

Absolutely. Reduce to thrice a week and you'll improve your gains. Remember recovery isn't just for your muscles by for neurological system as well.

Also take a week off for every 10 weeks you train

My plan:

Monday: Chest/shoulder/triceps/
Tuesday: hamstrings/calves/biceps/abs

Thursday: back/biceps/glutes/quads
Friday: chest/shoulder/triceps

Sunday: back/quads/hamstrings/abs/calves

true tbh, also if you do same exercises over and over. u could prob get away with doing a little every day.

only time i ever got injured was doing ultra high specificity high frequency training. that kind of training sucks imo.

from experience 5x5 3 times a week is best for progress early on

Realistically yes, it is too much.
Your routine should be as low effort as possible so you keep doing it even when you feel like a pile of shit.

This is why routines centered around heavy compound movements are the best, they don't require as much mental fortitude as the high rep shit does and you can complete a full body workout in under 45 minutes.

 

[antiantifa]

Nothing as training too much as long as you don't do cardio.

 

[ConspiracyTheory]

Volume mediates hypertrophy to a large degree so spreading out the volume over multiple sessions is a good idea. Overtraining can happen so every month or so it might be good to back off for a week.
This article, while heavy on the science, explains it well.
