We only lift three times per week, generally between 50% and 75% of a
submaximally tested 1-RM. They have 8-10 exercises, covering the whole body.
I haven't found this to be a problem. I would venture to suggest that the
alternating method is key when you're lifting every day, or multiple
sessions per day. The only accounting i use is that I work my dryland around
my pool time. If you're over-doing it, you'll soon know about it. As long as
you can maintain a reasonable level of intensity and comfort, you're good to
go. Knowing the difference between 'good tired' and 'bad tired', and 'good
pain' and 'bad pain' is a murky prospect, however being that in-tune with
your body is a great barometer...if you are at stage where you thin kyou
need to ease off, don't simply nix the workout - instead do something
different, but demanding, such as a stretching routine, where stretching is
the focus, not just a supplement.
