Why are you fat powerlifters always trying to convince people that training too much is "overtraining" and "too much volume" yet professional athletes train several hours a day, every single day and they achieve great physiques and top tier performance this way?
What if you're not getting results because you simply aren't pushing yourself hard enough?
Because they compete in different things dumbass Yeah you can swim everyday but you can’t pick up your 1 rep max every day

Professional athletes have: >gear >otherwise low stress lifestyles >teams of doctors, chefs, nutritionists etc. >sponsorships etc. >god tier genetics
I do agree that most of us can definitely do more work, but you cannot train like a professional athlete, unless you are indeed a professional athlete.

I didn't know Phelps powerlifted 7 days a week for multiple hours What are his lifts?
Landon Gomez
There's absolutely no reason. Just max out every day, go balls to the walls Bulgarian method. Train 2-3 times a day and don't let anybody tell you it's too much.
Logan Phillips
so wrong.
Professional athletes have: Willpower (fuck gear) Dedication (which you lack) Can endure pain (which you cannot) Are not whiners (so no stress) Have genetics 95% the same as earthworms. and 99,999% the same as you.
Well for starters they're on gear. That's how they're able to recover from it. That combined with good genetics. Your average gym goer isn't going to be as gifted as a professional athlete. Certain exercises enable you to train for longer and harder. Swimming doesn't effect the joints as much or tax your body as compared to other exercises e.g deadlifts, hillsprints. Also a lot of atheletes are actually clueless when it comes to training. This again goes to the fact that they have good genetics. Can't remember the baskeball player who used to get up and train for ridiculous times. There's a difference between training hard and training stupid. If you do train hard, you need to recover from it. Good luck not having recovery days, and notinjuring yourself.

Oh and to add to this, there is also the fact that people like Phelps or otherwise are definitely NOT doing maximal effort work at all times, and there's also the fact that most professional athletes generally only have ~3 month training periods, otherwise they just do general, simple GPP for posture and to stay in shape. Bulgarian method is not equivalent to "true" maximal efforts as it is only a daily, or training maximum. This method is also enabled by having very low volume daily volume, as sessions typically do not last any longer than ~40 minutes.

Protip: professional athletes are on gear you fucking moron
