Over Training is the only way to get better. The human body will adapt to the loads you put on it. Like you said with enough rest and proper energy input, we constantly transform daily mentally and physically by over training.

[@FirstPrincipleGuy]

+Jonathan Irizarry I second that, I'm a fan btw.

[@Nosunbeetz]

agreed,💪

[@Jon_Izzy]

Leopold Wisnewski You're the only troll I'll feed today. LOL Man how does it feel to not know what the fuck you are talking about? Clearly none of the this resonates with you because you lack the spiritual connection behind it all. Go GROW yourself mentally, spiritually and physically and stop being a little excuse making bitch.

[@Jon_Izzy]

Leopold Wisnewski Ure is not a word. Learn to spell! Have a wonderful day sir! Namaste

[@floydlane1684]

+Jonathan Irizarry you tell that hippie

[@sheepshitonastick]

real fuckin talk. this video applys to anything and everything in life.

[@ClassyFelix]

my mom over-traines me in chores smh...

[@LXRDUNKNXWN]

When Mike Rashid said he's not a big guy o_O

[@TheAlexmercer360batmanfan]

Cuz he hangs out with the biggest mass monsters... In the world. On top of that he is humble. That's it.

[@RamGhuman]

who made up this whole over training crap? Nearly all gym users have fallen for this

[@ewamanda]

Overtraining - in THIS case, it means training above and over what you already do... you know, to push yourself above your current capabilities.

[@submissionartist444]

ever since watching your videos my training has become more about building mental toughness. nowadays 12 hours of my shitty job ain't shit. training with your style made the so-called stresses of life mean nothing.

[@messproductions1]

This is free fucking game.. free information... how can anybody dislike this.... #leavenostoneunturned

[@Bryan_Gutierrez]

Love the mental jewel video's. You speak nothing but the truth!

[@TheAlexmercer360batmanfan]

Workout with a weight, perfect form, all sets till failure, 3 minute between sets, as many sets as you can(there will come a set where you can't lift that shit no more, trust me, and by then you will have a pump and a burn you have never felt in your life before)... And then rest as long as it needs for you to recover. Eat a lot. Do loads of cardio on your off days... I suggest 100 non push up Burpees a day, and some walking. Start with a 7-8 rep max weight, and then make it your 20 rep max weight, now you are stronger than before and visibly bigger than before, then add weight again to start with a 7-8 rep max weight which is far heavier than before, and make it your 20 rep max weight again. One compound move for each body part. This was mine: Session full body: 1) barbell overhead strict press 2) pendlay rows 3) flat chest flies 4) pistol squats weighted 5) barbell strict curl 6) good mornings 7) 6 peanut butter sandwiches, each having two whole grain slices and 5tbsp peanut butter... I was capable of doing 2 of those sessions a week. It was a killer though. 20 inch guns 5 years later, rock hard and lean. This is your training cycle and progressive overload.

[@PsychoMantis04]

This video was really good but it needed to happen a lot sooner. These keyboard warriors have been bitching for over a year about "over training". But it doesn't matter, these scrubs will be on the next over training video talking shit.

[@dannymexia5961]

if your not frying your CNS and getting weaker every workout then you truly dont know the real meaning of overtraining... look at the symptoms of overtraining... your body isnt a robot, your body needs time away from stress physically and mentally, but mostly mentally since your frying your central nervous system going to failure on every set.

[@teejay3698]

+Danny Mexia exactly

[@alvinjohnson7228]

+Danny Mexia Hasn't happened yet. If it's a mental thing like you stated, then overtraining is subjective.

[@Beard-OF-Courage]

Over training isn't good for you. However, it is good to get one or two of those workouts in a week. Not everyday though. I don't like seeing blood in my urine.

[@PsychoMantis04]

Gene Strong If there's blood in your urine, then you're a dumbass.

[@adaptone9777]

So... "Overtraining" = Training? I mean... Isn't this how everyone (that gets results) trains? If you want you're body to grow, then you have to give it a reason to grow. If the body can handle more, then do more. But at the same time, you have to have a bit of downtime once in a while, but its far less than people think. It took me like a year to reach a state of overtraining. And that was a year of working out 6-8 times a week. No de load weeks. Hitting the gym twice on the weekends, getting far to little sleep, working 10+ hours a day doing heavy labor, doing 10x10, working in heavy rep ranges (1-3), working in high rep ranges (21-30), doing endless drop sets, training past failure, rest/pause sets, super sets regularly, and failing reps once in a while. The body can almost always handle more than you allow it to. It wasn't till I finished my cut this summer that I got injured, and that was probably just due to not respecting the weight and rushing through a workout. It was a minor injury, and I chalk it up to just making a mistake than actually being overtrained.

[@MotivationalPhilosopher]

If you think overtraining is bad then you must think over preparing is a waste of time. You must think over success is evil. Or maybe you're just making up an excuse not to go through the pain of getting better. #MP

[@dhernandez1305]

Holy shit Mike. You're words are powerful man. You know how to motivate many of us and myself through your videos like no other. I met you in San Jose at the fit expo and your presence was on a different level. Keep motivating the young people with a dream Mike

[@07jackg]

Except, when most people use the term ‘overtrain’ they mean, ‘train to the point that you are doing more harm then good. As for the, “bioscience IS real science: you are the subject and you’re testing your results” I think that’s legit, everyone can benefit from applying proper scientific method.

[@MrWass98]

Mike you clearly have the best Channel on KZbin. You are a huge inspiration

[@Tiger24kicks]

Over training is the best thing that I could of done. I've seen results from it. I work out heavy high reps over and over.

[@manuelgonzalez7335]

Mike the gym is for handling business not to under train. Yes not get hurt but the gym is for aka: “body building” Brother your an inspiration. Thank you 🙏

[@codfather1999]

What about if you're natural?

[@LSF1838]

Good questions but people seem to get all emo when talking about natural vs unnatural

[@Jordan-ug7yk]

+E.J Robinson rich piano m ade a vid called natural vs non natural training check it out :P

[@bpettus]

It doesn't matter if you're natural or not. He's referring to any and everyone

[@TOTFAHRER]

+E.J Robinson then it does not apply. 2 exercises with 5 sets each is already enough. everything more is just senseless.

[@KeyserSoze23]

+bpettus Yeah he is but he isn't himself. So what works for him is physically different.

[@islandgirl1818]

I'm in love with Mike's mind!!

[@kawala4424]

This video is 8 years old and still hits just has hard as when it got released!!

[@fender1000100]

+johnathon winberly If training like him works for you and you arent juicing then youre a rare exception. Not the norm. The average human being rquires at least 72 hours for the entire system to recover and GROW. Thats the point. I have seen guys who hve worked out for years and they look like they did 5 years ago. because they overtrain and are naturals. The body says fuck you. You dont give me enough time to grow so I wont. What im saying here is he can talk all he wants. Until he comes out and says oh by the way im on a serious stack. He gets no respect from intelligent people. only gullible fools will follow his word without question.

[@moisesotano2835]

Yo Mike, were you in the Marine Corp?

[@itsme726]

Over training = train past your bodies ability = GAINZ

[@rockoytheman9453]

Mike Rashid is a 🐐

[@YoungBuddhaGotThatRemedy]

Same bro it's hard for me to gain muscle even tho I eat around 3,800-4,200 cal a day and hit my macros. I have to over train to get gainz. That's the only way it's worked for me. Pushing yourself to the impossible and making your body get a huge pump. #Overtraining

[@Voyteeee]

This is so well said. I applied this 10/9 years ago in my gym routines and it impacted my life in the greatest way possible. Thank you Mike Rashid.

[@messproductions1]

This is free fucking game.. free information... how can anybody dislike this.... #leavenostoneunturned

[@savage0831]

damn I need this freaking beard to grow

[@Canalolz]

My overtraining might be the ''warup'' of someone else, and my ''warmup'' might be the overtraining of someone else ... so why the fck would you limit yourself to someone else's limitation ?! and why the fck would you want someone to limit himself to yours?! just mind your fcking bussiness and GIVE IT EVERYTHING THAT YOU GOT !

[@mikechang5759]

especially those guys who only do 5-8 reps when working out mike and they act like there over training like that CG guy, he acts like he knows everything when his physique never grows but hey thats just me nice video mike

[@OZZY33MERKS]

good shit mike. .... keep pumping those mental jewels ....i said it before I will say it again .... the mental jewels are all I watch before the gym or when I'm having a f up day and I need some positivity. I met you in 2013 I won the ct fletcher contest for muscle pharm , tell ct fletcher I said what's up. I love you mfs straight out that h town .... thin blue line all day, "I will go where they are not willing too. "sounds like a new shirt

[@unchained3502]

Have missed four days in the past six months. I hurt myself once because I was not stretching. Now I've started stretching really well before I started. Tripled my weight on everything and now have had a total body transformation. Im gonna start videos on overtraining and nutrition myths. Subscribe if you want to see me grow

[@TheLockon00]

Olympic lifters, gymnasts, calisthenics specialists, iron man triathletes, etc. all train 6-7 days a week. Don't be a wimp about over-training.

[@JeffOchoaFitnessDudeJeff]

Very strong and inspiring message, I'm definitely down with this logic! Respect Mike! an check my channel

[@Trapezius_God]

Mike, you was just benching 480 at 220. I'm 205 and I just hit 315. I think I might need to overtrain to get my numbers up lol.

[@marquisethomas5611]

I just started at a beer warehouse & signed up for a gym. Thats my over traning

[@mumsdifatty303]

Just my experience: I think both "sciences" are right. What is "overtraining" to a green weakling is "intensity" to a monster. Just like I couldn't gain any muscle benching 350 lbs when I started lifting (because I couldn't move it), I couldn't benefit from high intensity training (overtraining). I simply wasn't in the shape to process the food, recover, and sustain the work load. Just like the weight needs to get heavier as I get stronger, the workout intensity must increase (3 sets of 10 flat bench just stops being enough). Everyone I've seen condemn "overtraining" usually is talking to people that haven't broken the threshold so their idea of overtraining is really just doing something weak for a long time. They tire their muscles and train them to... well, do something weak for a long time. But watching what CT Fletcher, Kali Muscle (I haven't watched your workouts, but I imagine they are the same from the look of you) call overtraining is using explosive power until there is absolutely none left. That seems like proper training to me, but a weakling can't even begin to output at that level. Short version. Gotta crawl before you walk and train at the proper level for your fitness. Trying to "overtrain" day 1 is probably not even possible unless you're doing little panty weights. At some point "overtraining" is the only way to get your muscles to respond. At least what would have been "overtraining" on day 1.

[@tfly4474]

Mike Rashid why would you say such brilliant things...somebody (me) is gonna get hurt trying to be like mike haha I love it...Overtrain for life

[@cristianbuitron2050]

Overtrain, with common sense! Mike Rashid knows what he's talking about!

[@TheSVERguy]

Gettin philosophical as fuck in here mike. I think you're exactly correct about the mentality of someone willing to dig deep on hard workouts applying to the real world. Love it man.

[@teejay3698]

To me overtraining happens over time. I dont consider overtraining to happen in a day. Thats just called working hard as fuck. For me im overtrained when i feel weaker. during a week and CNS is fried. Then its time to deload for a week. You can never work too hard during a workout that is such bullshit.

[@Trendle222]

i do 2 sets ALL out ( 1-2 min sets) super high intensity each muscle group and getting All Kindzz of Gains! (seriously not joking) get in there and get it done biches, stop doing all these 30+ silly ass half ass sets per muscle group. Screw that, im gettin much more growth from this than doing all those sets i used to do (although my 2 sets are very extreme and i havnt seen many people do a set with the intensity i use, hell i dont even count reps, just do it till i cant)

[@9huhunder9]

Mike stop telling this true things to this stupid ppl keep it for yourself! I personaly think exactly like u but this average ppl dont deserve this knowlege u giving them! The only thing they can do is to hate and say this it bulshit! keep this secret for u man they just dont deserve it this is my opinion sry for my bad english keep the good work salute!

[@Sparks9133]

Don’t agree with everything you say mike but respect to you I definitely have implemented things you say into my mindset had a shit year but going back to the gym has saved me from self destruction after loosing my family respect mike and merry Christmas from Jason in London.

[@Slamb111]

I hate that there's no one around me with this mind set, I carnt be around weak minded people so I cut so many people out and I'm just like fuck I need a STRONG minded training partner, hard to come by

[@michellegordon1061]

I'm not trying to hate what so ever, idgaf about what another man does with his body but I'm just trying to know if you are on some PEDS because you will recover faster and that's why you can train these body part so often.

[@hymnz100]

so i go to the gym 4x wk. one wk i do nothing but chest. incline, decline, machine chest flys, but never too heavy, i do a lot of reps till i burn out. would this be considered overtraning?

[@livesongs82]

[@mulatonegro1294]

Mike when will the powerlifting video be out

[@mayukhsen8195]

I personally enjoy doing overtraining over the structured workout plans to get you to a goal fastest. I will tell you guys a story, back when I started 5/5 training, I wanted a huge upperbody as a natty but never gave a shit about lower body. So I thought I will train bench, ovh press, rows, deadlifts on the novice 5/5 routine but I will try overtraining with squats using 10rm weights, I have nothing to lose there lol. So for squats, this is what I did, I picked a 10rm weight, and I replied that shit, every set to failure resting 3 minutes between sets, until I got to 50 reps, I would do it twice a week or every other day, and what happened is every time I would do it, I would get stronger the next week, I would train until my 10rep max is my 20 rep max, and then add weight again, start working with my new 10rm weight. So a year passed away, I got to. 180lbs ovh press, a 290lbs bench press, a 300lbs row, a 420lbs deadlift, but my squat???? That shit was 500lbs for 3 reps. That was some crazy ass gains in just 13 months of training. People in my gym were in awe. Then I decided to do this program for bench press, rows, squats, I would do ovh press and deadlift with an intermediate routine, in the next year I got to a 600lbs squat for 1 rep max, and 410lbs bench press. Best gains as natural in my gym. Clearly the balls to the walls give it your all approach worked great for me. I was 15-20 percent body fat year around, and 20 percent body fat means real 20 percent, meaning I had a flat hard core, no guts whatsoever. So imo, overtraining works great when you are young or on trt, and giving yourself recovery time, eating loads of carbs and protein. I was totally plant based(I am from India, and I belong to a fraction of the Hindu religion that don't eat animal products) so that may have helped because excluding animal protein increases muscle recovery and this is proven with science. If it doesn't work for you then run conventional routines. But atleast try it with squats for 2 months and see how you feel.

[@666ofdoom]

This is some real talk! I'm glad you posted up this video because this is something to learn from. One of my favorite videos now. Look at the likes and dislikes. This is really a motivational video to me.

[@yusufbrownhawkel4053]

Facts

[@Sebanoe]

In my opinion the muscles are almost never the problem. However Ligaments,tendons do not make gains with the rest of your body they can be easily overworked or injured excluding those on the juice.I have never seen anybody discuss these points, joints are the biggest limitation of over training.

[@tylerdelorenzo7767]

+Sebanoe you can definitely hurt your tendons and such on "juice"...you're gaining muscle faster than those parts...recipe for disaster

[@ThEoMaIdEn]

overtraining yourself is ok. But remember,everybody has to start with the least amount of work which he can see gains.There is no reason for a beginner to do 33 sets of chest,if he can only grow with 8-10sets…Where will he go when he plateue,if he already works 33sets..AND he never gonna grow stronger. But lots of people fear overtraining,but they under-eat and under sleep. Remember,if you have children,college/work,wife and parents to take care you may not me able to make that kind of gains,even if u have time to exercise,stress is a big factor.
