They say practicing a little bit each day is better than a long session once or twice a week, well what about a long session everyday?is thä better or does practicing to much have a Negitive effect?

I normally practice a lot everyday and I don't think anything negative has come from it.
But it doesn't always make progression faster. With things like numbers juggling it will still take a lot of time. Although with easier things you can learn multiple tricks in a single day.
You always reach plateaus in progression and with long practice I think you just hit said plateau sooner but also get over it a bit quicker.
That was a long reply but I hope I didn't confuse you.

I understood what u said perfectly,I really see more progress when I do 2 or 3 hours every day all week , but there does come a point where I do feel burned out and relize it's time take a break.
Long sessions everyday are definitely how you will improve fastest. Just make sure to mix up what you're doing rather than exhausting yourself trying the same trick or kind of trick for large amounts of time.

In general it's not good to practice the same thing over and over for too long. Mix it up so you have several things to work on each session. I personally find that my shoulders and arms get a bit sore and tired after 2 hours. Sometimes I will still feel like juggling beyond a couple hours in a day but I wonder if it's productive practice at that point. If you wanna juggle 4 hours a day, splitting it up into two 2-hour sessions is probably better.
If you juggle just for fun, like me, the best time to stop and rest is when you aren't having fun anymore :)

I defintly mix up, I'm learning the 5 ball cascade and the reversal and 4 ball Mills Mess at the same time, a bunch of diffrent 3 ball tricks aswell,

4b reverse mills? wow. you should have a little less trouble with a 5b cascade if you have that kind of 4b control. atleast I reckon. I always seem to want to get to 5 and then I go back to 4 prop stuff. recently I'm trying the mills mess. any tips?

They say 4 ball Mills Mess is more difficult than the 5 ball cascade, I dissagree, I tried doing five for a few months and made no progress, so I went back to 4, learned the fountain and reverse fountain.mixed fountains coloums, still working on the shower and the 4 ball wind mill, the cross armed reverse fountain will help with Mills Mess , and the cross armed 3 ball reverse cascade really helped,as far as tips, practice a lot!i mean it ALOT! Untill u have nightmares about practicing !and watch as many video tutorials with slow motion as u can, u never when somebody may say something that clicks in your head,

I think long practice sessions might be more beneficial when you're young. Also how tired you are - I find it too difficult and not very beneficial these days to practice more than half an hour after work. Early morning practice is not a good idea as I'm like a zombie first thing in the morning (I have to leave out my clothes the night before in a human shape or I find myself trying to force socks or underpants over my head). Juggling is so much better when you don't work, you can just keep doing little bits here and there throughout the day.

"when you're young"
yes, when I first started at 16 it was like nicotine addiction. somewhere in the world someone woke up and lit up a cigarette, I woke up and grabbed the yellow and red beanbags. even last night I didn't sleep much because I was experimenting with new tricks (namely body throws) and I feel energized still.
ah, youth.

I have a two sets of patterns that I practise depending on my energy level. Box variations and body throws when I'm feeling energetic, blind, 5b, 7b when I'm feeling fatigued.
