How long are you supposed to rest your muscles before working em out again?
I'm curious, friend of mine who is training to be a personal trainer says 72 hours, but I was always told to just wait 1 day then go back to doing it (when first starting out).
This true? Or shall I go back and give him link to this thread proving he's wrong!  |

well, I'm trying to build up alot of muscle..I started off light tho and can feel it all through my chest/arms a little over 24hours later. so I'm a little cautious if I should go in and workout some more.

You are attempting to work out twice in a 24 hour time period? When you get advanced and can listen to your body great, but for now, throw that idea out the window. Stick to what works.

according to a kinesiology textbook, 48 hours is the amount of recuperation time a muscle needs after a workout; this is also the optimum amount of time to wait in between workouts for a given muscle group (although some--like calves--can be worken daily).
However keep in mind that this is under the assumption that the muscles are NOT worked to failure.
