Quick Thinking – Time for Recovery
Sometimes, less is more when it comes to making progress in the muscle-building game. This is especially true when it comes to recovering from hard workouts day after day. Unless you are getting some chemical assistance, your body usually needs at least 5-7 days to recover per muscle group.
Over-training muscle groups can slow progress and even prevent muscle growth, because your body doesnt have the proper nutrition or rest/recovery time to fully repair the muscle.
Try taking 5-7 days off between muscle groups and then a whole week off every 12 weeks. You should feel refreshed, rejuvinated and even a bit larger after this rest period.
