Thread: lifting same bodypart twice a day?

Hi. I just started lifting again so I don't lift that heavy, but I would like to damage my muscles as much as possible. I usually don't lift to the max and have like 5 sets at 12-15 reps. But I feel this is not enough or is it? I lift in the morning and was thinking of lifting again in the afternoon. Is this safe to do for the same bodypart? Or do I have to lift for a different bodypart?

Enough for what? 5 sets for biceps would be plenty, but 5 sets for legs probably would not be.

There is no need to train the same body part a few hours later, as TP said do a different bp if anything
