Interview with Chaos and Pain, Jamie Lewis | Muscle and Brawn:
"...the first thing is overtraining and rest days. Bodybuilders have gotten it into their heads that they will shrivel up if they “overtrain”, in spite of the fact that there’s very little objective criteria for overtraining. And their theory flies in the face of common sense – I mean, look at anyone who works with their hands, like carpenters or brick masons – their forearms are insane. I think it’s just a salve to their psyches telling them it’s ok to be a fucking pussy. But masons in particular are typically drunk all day long, eat virtually nothing, and heave big ass blocks of stone all over for 10 hours a day. They’re ripped, and their forearms and upper bodies are far more muscular than they have any right to be, given their diets. According to the theory of overtraining, they should be withered husks of humans, populating the ICU of every hospital on earth, but they’re not."
