whats to much training?
i was wondering if i decieded to train chest 2x a week would that be overtraining. current routine is 3 set of 12 reps for bench, 3 sets of 12 reps for inclined bench, 3 sets of 8 reps for inclined dumbell flys, and as many inclined pushups i can do at the end of the routine. is that to much to do twice in a week? thanks for any input
Yes it is.
You're doing 9 sets, and then some Push-ups too. So that's like 18 sets on Chest a week, and bodyweight failure 2x as well.
18 Sets is normally a once a week thing, done by big dudes who juice.
Even though you're splitting it into 2 sessions a week, you're just causing yourself potential overtraining, or lack of progress.
I would be inclined 2x a week, to stick to 6 sets a time, so perhaps something like Bench Press 3x, and Crossovers 3x, or Bench Presses 3x, Crossovers 2x + 1 finisher set on Push-ups.
You could repeat that later in the week, and then you're doing 12 sets per week only.
