      NO DAYS OFF

      Alot of individuals believe in taking days off training.
      I don't believe in this practice personally. The fact that you are training 1 or 2 seperate body parts only daily, puts more than adequate recovery time for muscles trained.
      Say you trained chest and tri's, the next day back and bi's, then shoulders, then finally legs. That makes 4 days recovery time for said muscles trained. Thats almost too much time resting muscles in between. If you added a couple of rest days, your in between time becomes SIX whole days in between. You need to hit it more often than that for optimal growth. Days off are an EXCUSE to be LAZY. WORK EVERY FUCKING DAY, and add in abs and forearms to one of your existing training days. NO DAYS OFF!
      This is merely my ways and opinions. I am not an authority on this. Let me know your ways and thoughts on working out and time off.

      Maybe this needs to be moved to general discussion or something.

      Yeah... not really. Everyone thinks that you build muscle in the gym. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you break down muscle in the gym.. and it's the REST & recovery which causes your muscles to grow, so that they can adapt to the stress you put on em. I know a few world class competitors that take 30-60 days off following a major competition so they can let their body relax from all the stress they put on it.

      90% of the younger dudes I see (teens and early 20's) are way over trained. It was the biggest mistake I made in my younger years (that and not eating close to enough food).

      Best results I've seen has been by training a muscle group hard and then letting it rest 5-7 days before hitting it again. The Younger you are the faster you will recover but Even not getting enough Sleep (6-8 hours) will slow down your gains.

      I just know that now that now that I'm well into my 50's after 4 decades of serious lifting, I definitely NEED days off after a 30 set leg workout or 24 set back workout... just to let everything heal up and recover properly. That and lots more massages and juccuzi's. Stats are 6' 260, 17% bf ..(but I like to eat and drink).

      I agree with oh Brother.. people take to many days off. In my opinion the only way you should need to take a day off is if your life kids or job schedule get in the way.. I train everybody part 2 every 8 days. Today is sat . I took today off cause I had another responsibility. But I am frothing and already planing my day tom.. I train chest tris and shoulders all in the same day.. then I do it again 4 days later.. I save rest delts for back day... but just train..

      Dont agree at all. Not going everyday doesnt mean someone is lazy either. Maybe they have a life and priorities in life other than just the gym.

      I agree 100%. Me and hubby dont get the results we use to before the little one. The lack of sleep and increased stress has dampered our gains. NO DAYS OFF

      I didn't mean I spend the whole day in the gym, I hit the body parts hard and get out. I still have the time to do life. Everyone's different and their bodies react differently. My muscles respond well when I hit it no more than 4 days in between same muscle workouts, any longer and my gains are negatively effected. Truth is I love it. Hitting that iron is one of the best parts of my day. Thanks for the input though. I'm always ready and willing to learn.

      2 on, one off, 2 on, 2 off for me. Far from lazy, I do what works for me. I ain’t you so why would what works for you work for me?

      You're right. We are all built differently. I guess I should say when "I" take days off I am making excuses and being lazy because I know my body responds better to training separate body parts consistently. Rest is required for optimal gains but my body rests one body part while I am working the other. My best gains have been obtained without any leisure days. I'm sure there are others like myself who respond well to more constant training. Go with whatever works for you. I already stated I wasn't an authority on this subject.

      i personally cannot handle training everyday my cns becomes fatigued and mentally it becomes taxing aswell.

      the only way i could do it is if i broke it down into 1 muscle group per day otherwise it be diffucult unlesd i had alot of free time and peds to make it possible
