Am I getting too much rest between workouts??
Is four days of rest too much time off between working out specific muscle groups? For example, if I workout my chest and tris on Monday, the next time I train my chest and tris is on saturday. Is this too much time off? Should I decrease it to only 3 days rest?
Note: Soreness is usually gone two days after each workout.
All replies are appreciated.
Thanks

no
many use a 3 or 4 day split, hitting each group ONCE/WEEK.

I know you need 72 hours in between working out same muscle. As far as too long I would work in out again within one week. For instance, on monday work chest and tris, and next monday work chest and tris again.

10-27-2005, 03:37 PM #9i train a body part once a week but just because its not isolated doesnt mean its not getting trained. if you do tri's one day then chest a few days later your still getting a decent workout for your tris on chest day, same with shoulders if you do a military press/db press movement.Originally Posted by -E-
