i've noticed how pretty much every workout routine thread suggests 5 days working out, and 2 days resting. does it matter how many days i rest? i've been working out 6-7 days a week....

Not the workout scheledule in our stickies. 3 days is sufficient.

well let me put it this way, if i work out 7 days a week, am i wasting my time? i work out about 1-2 hours a day and i may be a little sore the next morning but i push through it and i'm fine.

7 days a week with resistance training is overkill. So can you? Yes, but why would you? You would benefit more from a 3-4 days a week scheledule. Now if you are meaning resistance training for 4 days and cardiovascular training for 3 days, then that would be ok, but most people can really benefit from that day off!

i'm trying to put on weight at the same time so i don't really do any cardio right now. although i need to. i just figured 7 days a week insured that no matter what i couldn't go backwards. but i see your point

i've read that gym quote on here before so it must be the truth. i'm taking in about 3000-3500 calories a day right now i hope thats good enough cuz i don't have time to eat anymore than that
