Weight Training Frequency - How Much Rest Do You Need Between Workouts

Comments (0)

A common question that new bodybuilders ask is "how often should i train a particular muscle?"

Well the answer to that question could be based on a few things.

What kind of shape are you currently in? Because if your not in very good shape then you can't train a muscle very hard. But if your not in good shape then you would train more frequently, you train easy but also more frequently. As you get in better shape you can pick up the intensity of your training.

As you pick up the intensity of your training, it means your training harder and your going to be more sore after workouts, which means your going to need a longer recovery time.

If you were to train your chest on Monday, typically you need 48-72 hours of rest for recovery on that muscle (depending on how hard you train) So if you train your chest on a Monday, you should be resting that muscle group until Wednesday or Thursday. This gives the muscle time to repair itself and also helps in the growing process. If you train the same muscle group everyday then you are just wasting your time in the gym and you will be getting zero results. The resting process is very important. the next time your in the gym, ask one of the big guys how much rest they have between muscle groups and they will tell you the same thing.
