What do you consider RECOUPERATED?

Tough question for me, is it when your not sore? Is it when your not sore + energy levels are up to the same level as a day off?

I'd make a poll but I don't think I could fill it with enough appropriate answers, and I am really not sure what everyone would consider recouperated, I can work out 3x a week like hell and not be sore, if I've been doing such a program long enough.

Or, do you have no theories on recouperation and simply follow blah blah 4 on 1 off or etc routine 'blindly' so to speak?

AS YOU PROGRESS AS A BODYBUILDER IN SIZE AND STRENGTH YOU NEED TO TAKE EVEN MORE REST AND RECOVERY TIME. EXAMPLE: My recovery ability is probaly slightly better now than when i started lifting 13-14 years ago but only slightly...but back then I was benching 135lbs and squatting 155lbs in my first months of lifting. Now I am far and away the strongest person in my gym using poundages three to six times greater than when I first started lifting. With my recovery ability being what it is both then and now do you think I need more time to recover from a 155lb squat for 8reps or a 500lb squat for 8reps?

Digging around, I'm finding that there are large variances with different people and thier recouperative abilities.
