Two a days - Its not just for football

Quick little blurb about training twice a day.

Probably thinking "well ain't that overtraining?"

Maybe. Everyone is different. Handling stress, fatigue, and training as such. Combating over training in this manner can be pretty simple when you go after it right.

Two-a-days can help this.

Not saying you need to train balls out double duty every single day BUT you can do a similar workout to reinforce the skills used in a prior workout. Poliquin even cited in one of his blogs quite a while ago about training similar muscle groups on the same day with about 5-7 hours apart. Granted most would think this is crazy and complain about "well I have a hard enough time getting ONE workout much less TWO every day!" Thats to each their own. But if you got a serious goal in mind don't trick yourself into thinking that one and done is the standalone approach to training.

Some of you may already be training twice a day and not realize it. If you got a workout in would you turn down a pickup game later on citing that you already got some work done and thats all you're allowed? Hope not.

Gave me an idea for the future. Now that Ill have my own facility I may be able to throw in some 2-a-days during break and downtime when the kids do not have school. Could be 'fun'.
