I know you should wait atleast 48 hours, but I got rest today and ate alot and was just wondering if it would be ok to do another chest workout(light).

Doing chest workout 2-days in a row.

I don't suggest you to. The pecs are big muscles in your body and the bigger they are, the more time you need to give them rest. They are repairing right now even if you don't feel it. When you sleep, the muscle repairs itself more efficiently, so you need rest. Don't overwork them. You can work abs twice in a row though since they are smaller muscles.

Once again a dumbass teen talking out of his unknowledgable ass. Working chest twice in a row is not bad, and actually can be very beneficial. High volume lower intensity such as programs like sheiko. Of course you can't do these programs for more than 3-4 weeks, but knowing how to periodize your yearly routine is crucial.

Oh shut the **** up, it's better to just do a higher intensity workout once or twice a week for your chest than to work it out for two days in a row, don't go around calling people dumbasses when he's quite right.
Yes, you have a point, it can be beneficial, but most don't end up doing it correctly and it's not like it will revolutionize your life if you do it.Reps owed: Slyy

Teens like you are rediculous for making general assumptions. Grow up, and don't try to talk to me like I'm some dumbass ****.
You do what works for you, and when I've been doing this for maybe close to the time that you have we'll check out who got better results in that time scale yeah?Reps owed: Slyy

Its teens like you that make the teen section at BB.com unbearable. We are entitled to our own opinions...don't go around calling other people dumbasses because they don't agree with your ass. And I didn't pull it out of my ass... questions like these are often and most people don't suggest working the chest twice in a row. Piece of ****.

No he's not, you're awfully presumptious.
You do what works for you yeah, but don't try and disregard other peoples opinions. It's better to do a high intensity work out and only work your chest once or twice a week with about 72 hours rest at least between both work outs, rather than two work outs over a two day period.
That's a bloody fact, if it wasn't than bodybuilders wouldn't be doing 5 day split routines. We'd have like 10 hour split routines or something haha.Reps owed: Slyy

Hmmm... if thats so whats your explanation for the sheiko and smolov program? Your basing all your conclusion on linear periodization. Dual periodisation is where you overreach for a longer period of time, thus yeilding bigger gains when you recover later. Of course you probably don't know what this is.
Not saying either method is better than the other. Just saying there are multiple methods for working out. Each method has its place during the year.
