Not enough info to which to reply; you need to be more specific here.Originally Posted by GrowingPains39

You don't have enough info as IronWill says, to make that call. Has he been lifting for 10 years, or 10 days?Training Log : https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175236371

If I understand the question correctly, muscle needs anywhere from 48 to 72 hrs before it can be worked again. Therefore we split workouts into muscle groups. Some folks give it a week, but that never worked for me.
