Athletes have an ability to train for upto 4 hours a day, ususally 2 in the morning and another 2 in the afternoon!. The reason that they don't overtrain, is because they are on a number of supporting supplements, and often train very cleverly, so they don't break down the same muscle over the day, but train a group more lightly!.
Your body will become more tolerant, but overtraining won't provide you with the best results!. It can also cause insomnia because of a elevated heart rate which is associated with anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You will either hurt yourself real bad or start to destroy any muscle you have built!. Never over train as the only thing you get out of it is dangerous situations!. If your new to working out, try a one on one off for 3 days of weight training total!. Anymore then your risking not making any gains!. Also be sure to split!.

Athletes train like that from years of working up to it!. I imagine it takes years to be able to work out for 8 hrs a day!. I know they do a lot of stuff like sit in tubs of ice after hard work outs!. It is not like you see on TV where they just go into the locker room, looking all great, take a quick shower and are off to dinner!.

In order for your muscles to become bigger and stronger they must have time to heal!. When your muscles feel sore a day after working out, it is good to a point!. If the pain is significant, it is time to take a break and ice it!. The fibers are often broken while working out and they need time to rebuild!. Rebuilding is how you get those bigger and stronger muscles!. So!.!.!.if you don't let them heal, you will not see results!.

I am in a lot of pain right now from over working myself and FORCING myself to take a break!. It sucks but you have to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
