I had a conversation with a coworker recently and we got to the topic of working out, and he told he's working out two times a day. He goes to the gym before and after work.
I asked him why the hell he would go twice, like that's just ridiculous and he said well he was depressed, and started working out. Everyone said it'd help with the depression, but it helped only a bit. So he figured well maybe he has to go even more.
It's absolutely ridiculous imo, but.. whatever helps one I guess
The endorphins from working out do absolutely help a ton. Though 2x a day is certainly excessive lol.
If one of the two sessions is cardio, then it's not too bad. But yeah, lifting weights twice a day would be extremely difficult to recover from.
