how long do you let your muscles rest before you work them out again?

[Snowman723]

I do squat deadlift bench everyday......

Alternating between max effort and endurance, no I do not over train

I used to do mon, wed, fri but since I have a free period I just always go to the school gym and lift cause i'm bored :P

[lunab]

question... did arms friday and today i was going to do legs but i have a bothersome hemiroid (hehe) so im thinking not to do legs and just hit chest. Would this be to soon to hit chest after doing arms friday?

[Vengeance10]

every 5-7 days.

dont really have a set day for anything, or set off days.

[Mr. Manlet]

same

however bi's and tri's 2x..bi's get hit on back day and arm day..same with tri's on chest

yeee boiiiii

[LdnLifter]

i train 28 times a week b3nch for breakfast squats for lunch and deadlifts for dinner i make sure i hit my abs 3 times a day though.

[Johnchallis]

Monday-heavy arms
Tuesday-back
Wednesday-rest
Thursday-Chest
Friday-Light arms
Every couple off weeks i will switch arms and back because they are the two areas that I need most work.

Nice leg workout you have there

[TheIronOwl]

1 full day of rest. PL workout.

[TheWaffleIron]

once every 5 - 7 days.

[My_Legacy]

Just curious guys.

I give them exactly 7 days. So i do biceps/back monday and wait till next monday to do them again.

Anyone else do what I do or am I the only one?

I do exactly what you do man. I used to work each muscle out twice a week, but found out recently that they just can't handle that. I've been feeling a lot more refreshed and have had a lot better workouts since switching to 1x a week.

[Safin]

About 30 minutes.

[s.RILLEYY]

I go by a longer timeframe..

usually hit each muscle group around 3x over two weeks.

[bigshayet]

During a bulk, 72-96 hours.

On a cut, a week.

[JuiceLT]

monday and thursday: Chest shoulders triceps
Tuesday and friday: Back biceps traps
Wednesday: legs.

[teen_muscle3]

[Matthoop11]

Been on Bill Starr 5x5 awhile now. 3 full body workouts a week, so 48-72 hours rest.

Enough rest for me, have had immense gains thus far on it.

[Stork]

Minimum amount of time possible. Usually ends up being 5 days, sometimes as low as 3.

If they don't hurt, they don't need any more rest. Simple as that.

[QQ]

wow strong bump whoever the **** bumped this rofl.

[Jonken]

Depends, I hit my chest 2 times a week now because its lagging. So now it looks like
Monday: Legs/abs
Tuesday:Chest/Shoulders/Tricep
Wen:Rest
Thurs:Back/Bis
Friday:Chest
