    How often should i work out specific muscle?

    Hey so i work out chest/tris back/bis and throw in shoulders and traps on some of those days. I usually work out chest/tris one day then do back/bis the next then wait a day or 2 to start all over again. Some1 was telling that i should be giving my muscles more recovery time. Please let me know what u guys think.

    Get a routine. There is no right answer to how frequent you should work out a specific muscle, there are too many factors to consider. You really need a clear plan of what you are going to do.

I'm guilty of that sh*t too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the **** on the bench. Big f*king deal. It is all relative." G Diesel
