Benefits of regular heavy training

Your body will take on musclemass fast if regeneration is timed right.
Your body will adapt after a while, see strongmen

Downsides

Not suitable and unnecessary for beginners. That much stimulus is not needed but increases risk of injury and bad form
Bulls are heavy, their work must be seen compared to their mass and body type. You might lift wrong or too much
Bulls are ideally moving all day and their physical work is not just an hour in the gym but usually a way bigger amount of their time.
Heavy weights put a lot of stress on your joints even with proper form. This can result in health problems after a long time.
Being natural: Tearing or extreme soreness in muscles will result in them needing multiple days to recover. Doing so everyday with the same muscles will result in overtraining.
Using highly anabolic drugs: You would likely not be overtraining but as joints etc are lagging behind musclegrowth you would risk injury with heavy weights
