where you don't workout at all? No weights and no cardio??? I was just wondering because I had been doing one or the other everyday. I want to know if a day of complete rest would hurt my progress.

Next time you mix up a protein shake, add some chocolate ice cream and whole milk to it. If that's not a kickass bodybuilding shake, I don't know what is!!" -Lee Priest

Resting is a vital part of gaining muscle. You should rest your muscles for 48hours after a workout. Of course this does not mean that you can not do anything for 2 days, you can work your chest-bi one day and back-tri the other. Thats why most people use split training

Most people do 3,4, or 5 day a week splits. You shouldn't be training 7 days a week.

Hell yah a big one on that. Sometimes even a day or two where you cut down on the protein intake to give your kidneys a break.Originally posted by Batman02
