So you've really got to question why people are doing this.
And so yes, you can go too far.
You know, the most extreme is where you can get muscle breakdown.
It's called rhabdomyolysis.
Bad for your kidneys.
It's you know a d uh potentially dangerous condition.
But you know, those are rare conditions, but you can overtrain.
you can get injuries.
And one of the reasons you get injuries is what we've just spoken about, which is if you go back to the beginning of this conversation and talking about these studies which have done will will give people maximum reps at maximum weight and then follow them doing those weights again second day, or you know, day after second day, third day.
On the second day, when you're trying to do those same weights, you can't do it.
Your performance goes down.
And therefore, if you try to do it quite hard, you are risking injury because you're not up to the performance of the day before.
So there is risk in not having a day off when you're really serious about building your muscles.
Yes, we can be too much of a rush to get there.
But progressive training, which we've also spoken about before on Watch That Rash, is really important.
That when something starts to feel easy, you've got to try and make it harder.
Well, you've got to be realistic and what you can achieve and whether you've got time to go to the gym.
But if you only go to manage the gym three times a week, two or three times a week
Probably the thing to do is actually whole body training.
In other words, you try and train as many muscle groups as you can while you're at the gym.
