Is it possible too....
Overtrain just ONE body part with out overtraining the entire body? I have heard that you can but this does not make sense to me .. cuz I always thought that it was a chronic sympton from doin too much over time and a central nervous system thing. If it is a central nervous system thing then how can it decide to ovetrain only one part of the body and not the whole body?? If this doesnt make sense then ask me and I will try to re-word it [img]/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Is it possible too....
You certainly can. I would read this article on overtraining, An Investigation of the Psychophysiological Mechanisms of Sport Injury

Re: Is it possible too....
You can overtrain a bodypart very easily. I have done it with my biceps in the past. And it is very dangerous too. Not only will the muscle get smaller, but chronic overtraining could kill you. Alot of young trainers subscribe to the belief that more is better in resistence training. NOT SO! RECOOPERATION is the third essential in the holy grail of training with Training & Nutrition as the other two.
You need at least 48 hours for a muscle to recover and fully recooperate from a hard training session. Otherwise you'll simply just be breaking down muscle tissue and never allowing it to rebuild properly. Peace

Make sure you taper, Jay. Read these articles in the anatomy section:
