obviously while on ph, volume/intensity of one's workout should and naturally goes up....but does this give an ok to worktout 6 days a week? ive always used a 4-5 day split over a 6 day period but once i get in the gym, i cant contain myself to workout longer and more frequently....im assuming this pump gonna wear off in a week or two, but my question is, as far as recovery, can one expect to workout 5 days on, one off, and about 3 day on again without severely overtraing?

This isn't a dig on you, but people severely underestimate what the body is capable of when they talk about over training. Based on what you wrote, you will be more than fine.

I train 6 days per week off cycle. On cycle, I do the same, but more sets, add intensity techniques, etc. You're fine. Just make sure you're getting enough sleep and protein.

When you come off cycle, I would reduce volume.

If you develop insomnia you have gone too far.
