This is based in the theory that Testostosterone and Cortisol play an important role in overtraining,if you have more testosterone your recover is better and if you have more cortisol you need less time training because working out rises your cortisol so much. This is because Testosterone is ANABOLIC (build muscle) and Cortisol is CATABOLIC (destroys muscle) hence you need certain frequency, volume and intensity depending in your ANABOLIC/CATABOLIC RATIO or better known as FREE TESTOSTERONE/CORTISOL RATIO,this is calculated by dividing free testosterone (nmol/L) by cortisol (mcmol/L).
High T Low C: PPL 6 days a week
High T High C: Upper-Lower 4 times a week
Low T Low C: Full body 3 times a week
Low T High C: PPL 3 times week
If you are the "Low T High C" you have the worse hormone profile and you need to improve it a lot,because PPL 3 times a week is ridicoulus but probably your body will not be able to withstand more exercise.
Reference values for Free Testosterone to Cortisol ratio:
Mine is 0,57.
