I mean complete muscle recovery, not when it is ready to be trained again..
Does anybody know this?
I'm thinking of taking some time off, I've some things to sort out at the moment, and I won't have any time for lifting. So why not start again when completly recovered and fresh,

here's a very generic excerpt:
http://biology.plosjournals.org/perl...l.pbio.0020348
"Also stating that muscle protein synthesis increases within a few hours after a bout of strenuous exercise and remains elevated for at least 24 hrs returning to normal at after approximately 72 hrs."
but there are so many variables involved its ridiculous.
edit: also as a very general rule, CNS recovery takes twice as long.If what I see does not amaze me, I am not looking hard enough.
The more you learn, the more you realize you don't know.

It depends on your genetics, diet, amount of rest, type of training and various therapies to aid recovery people may use. From what I have read over the 4 years I have been training it's between 2-4 days. If you're juicing, protein synthesis is increased so the muscle will recover much quicker, possibly 1-2 days which is why some of the pro's can train twice daily.

I've seen that before, and actually bought those times completely a few years ago despite what my experience told me.
But then saw some contradictory evidence such as:

I'm absolutely convinced the wound healing model applies. The more damage you do, the longer it will take to recover. Seems like common sense, but that is not how it is looked at by some trainers.CSCS, ACSM cPT.

Logical only now is the question, what type of training does the most damage to the muscles..
I mean olympic lifters can train more frequent, because they don't train the negative part of the lift a lot and avoid going to failure.
But someone who trains to failure should rest longer because of CNS recovery..
Than there is volume and intensity ect..
But let's just keep it to bodybuilding type of workouts
