Rest between body parts- too much recovery time?
hi guys, i am currently following mark rippletoes starting strength programme and am doing really well and finding it enjoyable. however, looking to the future, after starting strength i want to focus on a more bodybuilding orientated routine. all the routines i have looked are splits such as;
day 1 chest triceps shoulders
day 2 off
day 3 back biceps
day 4 off
day 5 legs
day 6 off
day 7 off
meaning that after working a body part you would have a week off before working it again. however, someone else told me that having a week off would be too much rest for that body part and i should try and work each part more frequently to gain mass?
please can someone help me out as i am very confused? i am a beginner and am keen to learn a lot.
cheers.
