This also reminds me, I had a guy ask me how to increase his chinups. He never seems to take my advice on anything so I don't know why he even asked. I told him to do them every single day and he said it would be overtraining.

I f***ing HATE!!! when people throw that word around.

YOU'RE NOT OVERTRAINING.

YOU WOULD BE WELL AWARE IF YOU WERE.

I wish that was a sticky somewhere. I think coldfire posted an article on it a while back, telling people to quit f***ing whining. Maybe I need to put briheads quote back on my signature. "No, you're not overtraining. You're just being a pussy".

I totally agree with you on the "do it everyday" thing. A friend asked me one time how I was able to get to doing 100 pushups straight (wide and regular). I told him that i just started doing what my friend who's in the military taught me: do them every day and writing down how many i did daily then gradually increasing them. He told me I was overtraining and that his system of doing them thrice a weel with a day of rest between was more efficient. Yet my friend in the military can do like 150 straight and this other guy can only do about 50-60... Go figure hehe

You bring up a good reason Carlos. That's why military guys are so strong with body-weight movements, they practice them every single day. Basically because it's a traditional method of increasing body-weight movements... just by practicing them every single day. If you're gaining, you're not overtraining.
