chest twice a week

[sporty black]

the main place i'm lagging in in the chest, so if i do chest ,and tris on mon, and fri, will i see fgaster results? or is it overtraining?

[noeyedea]

i think its fine to work chest twice a week as long as you have enough rest days in between the workouts. i do heavy chest work on monday and lighter chest work on friday

[Gollum]

Agreed. As long as you are eating and getting enough rest go for it.

I think it would be okay to try if you can recover fast enough. My chest is normally sore for about 5 days after training it.

5 days, holy smokes. What kind of chest workout do you do? Im lucky if my muscles are sore for 2-3 days afterwards and i usually kick my ass at the gym.

i say it's ok, but don't push it if it's still sore. some muscles get worked a little indirectly, so you have to watch out for that also. that can lead to over training, which hinders gains.

Do it monday and Thursday so that you have 72+ hrs between workouts. Thats enough time to recover. I would train tris or shoulders with chest on monday, then the other one on thursday, with chest. That way you dont overtrain the triceps.

Also, dont do high-volume for your chest each day. Take the number of sets you usually do for chest, and spread them out over 2 workouts, so you have the same number of chest exercises each week (+/- 1). Dont do like, 10 sets for chest each time, instead 3 or 4.
