what's up guys welcome to today's video
I hope everybody's well today's videos
gonna be discussing about training twice
a day what is it all about is it
suitable for you is going to be more
beneficial for building muscle or is it
a complete waste of time now what do we
mean by training twice a day is where
you have two sessions in one day where
you lifting weights right I'm not
talking about doing like cardio for one
of the sessions and then doing the
weights in the other session though this
is two sessions a day we're lifting
weights and doing on a regular basis
throughout the week okay I have done
this once before many years ago back
when I had my own gym and it's something
which I'm doing now I've just started
doing it recently main reason because
I'm stuck in my apartment right now I
can't leave my even allowed cigars I had
to do exercise so I'm spending a large
percentage of my day just sat on my
heart with not much to do I mean I'm
working but I've got more free time
realistically speaking this is not going
to be suitable for a lot of people out
there ok those people who can kind of
get away with doing something like this
is either those people have a hell of a
lot of free time on hands all those
people who are like literally getting
paid to do this or is their job ok body
builders all I have to worry about is
focusing on building their body the rest
of the time they can just relax they can
chill they can sleep they can eat and
they can just rest and recover and work
on their own schedule
it's not gonna be suitable for someone
who has a pretty hectic lifestyle you
know they've got a family to look after
their work at a nine-to-five job or
maybe even working longer hours than
that for not getting that much sleep
trying to train twice a day is gonna be
pretty demanding ok and there's no doubt
who's gonna completely wear them out so
it's not gonna be suitable for them ok
so I'm gonna share with you guys my plan
and what I put together for myself for
this training twice a day regime in case
you're gonna put up on the screen view
to see now as you can see the six day
split the reason behind that is that
just kind of allows me to hit everything
I need to hit and then I rotate once
I've done that sixth day is back to day
one again my shoulders are my back and
my focus points they're the areas I
wanna grow the most so I'm doing them as
you can see twice in this six days of
blip now after two days of training back
to back I'm gonna be pretty destroyed
right with the intensity which I train
at the weights which I'm lifting I'm
gonna be gas
I'm being realistic with myself as much
as I would like to train twice a day
everything today I know something
happened I'm gonna feel like absolute
turd and I'm not third day if I try to
train it would be a very mediocre
session so I devote that third day to
recovery I'll do a bit of coughs if I've
got a bit of energy in the tank which
I'm sure we'll be able to do that'll be
on the 1520 minute session and then I
will do some light cardio and you might
be asking Mike
why have you ain't got chest once and
why we combine that with another muscle
group and that is because my chest it is
just it's a strength of mine and it
really does not need much of volume all
in order to make it grow now what I've
noticed from trying to stick to the
schedule so far is there's some days
where I just can't stick to it right and
it's not out of laziness it's out on the
fact I'm actually just completely
shattered like I'll wake up sometimes
after a day where I've been training
twice I feel like I've been hit by a
train and my body's completely saw I'm
fatigued like I'd be trading for 12
years I know when I'm over trained and
sometimes I just have to listen to my
body like if I've got two training
sessions scheduled I'm like nah
realistically it's not happening like I
need to rest maybe I can push for one
session today but two is out of the
question I've also noticed that the
second session is a little bit more
challenging than the first session okay
I will do the first session a couple of
hours after I woken up had some food and
like I'm in the zone like I've got my
own live physical energy but got my
mental energy as well and that is a
really good session I do know is
sometimes later on in the day if I'll
try and do that second session whether
it be like five six or seven o'clock I
feel a little bit more tired the
motivation to get that session done is a
little bit lower and I never said just
like overall mental focus isn't as good
as the earlier session so what I do is I
scheduled the more challenging sessions
earlier on and then the sessions which I
genuinely thought enjoy more or I find a
little bit easier to kind of smash
through I'll leave them to the evening
something which you also need to take
into account is your training intensity
so how hard are you pushing yourself in
your sessions how heavy are the weights
which you are lifting and how frequently
you pushing to failure on each working
set right so if I was a individual who
didn't push to failure on every single
working set
then realistically get away with doing
more sessions training twice per day
without it really burning you out too
much however if you are on the opposite
end of the spectrum and you push to
failure on every goddamn set and you
train like an absolute beast
with heavy weight it's gonna be more
taxing on your body so we way more
demanding and the amount of recovery
required is gonna be much more compared
to let's say for example if you didn't
push yourself it's also probably not
gonna be a good idea if your goal is to
gain weight and put on size but you
struggle to do so you're a hardgainer
let's say for example you need 4,000
calories to gain a bit of weight and you
really struggle to it eat that amount of
food if you then go and train for a
second time
that means you're gonna burn actually
200 300 or 400 calories and then you're
gonna need to eat another 200 300 400
calories to enable you to gain weight
now a few people who know I'm doing this
training twice but anything they ask me
well okay I know you're doing two
sessions for 45 minutes
what is the advantage of doing those two
sessions why don't you just do one big
session for an hour up for 90 minutes
like what is the advantage of split up
if I did a normal workout a say for
example it's one hour I know it's there
for the first half of that session or
the first two thirds of that session my
mental concentration and energy levels
are its highest okay as the session
progresses you get more fatigued
naturally and mental concentration
starts to kind of wither away a bit now
if you were to do an hour and a half
session for 90 minutes
that second half of the session isn't
gonna be that great right you're gonna
be physically fatigued your mental
concentration is going to be elsewhere
and the quality of the reps quality of
the sets are gonna be mediocre
I just ultimately burning calories at
that point now if you split that up into
two you do one 45-minute session for the
majority of that session your energy
levels of mental concentration is gonna
be high then you're gonna rest recover
again nutrition back in again and when
you do the second session your
concentration levels and your energy
levels are going to be higher
realistically speaking this is not
something you should do for a long
period of time you are gonna do it maybe
like a month
max before like backing off it a lot of
it really depends on recovery and so on
but even I've noticed myself just like a
week two weeks of doing this I am pretty
tired one thing which is quite
noticeable as well is it's just very
hard to give 110% in every single one of
those sessions are usually that's
something which I do when I go and train
I like trains fairly I like to push
myself and when you're trying to do it
more often it's just harder and harder
to stick to and I'd much prefer to do
one session where I give 110 percent all
of my effort instead of doing two
sessions which are like 80 percent
intensity if you know what I mean
it's always quality over quantity and
when you get to that point where you're
sacrificing quality just to do more
sessions that's one out ask myself is it
really worth it
so that is the video like I said before
it's absolutely not necessary however if
you are gonna give it a try there's no
harm in doing so and it if done properly
it can be beneficial but you have to
ensure that you are getting an adequate
amount of recovery and your nutrition is
on point as well in order to really see
the results from this so thank you very
much for watching and give it a like if
you have enjoyed it and we'll see you in
the next video
