Thread: Muscle Repair

now I am confused!

different muscles take different times to heal. (e.g. forearms,calves and abs take about 24 hours, while lower back muscles can take 7-9 days) As a general rule dont work the muscle group out if it still hurts

I disagree with the whole idea of not training through soreness. I do it all the time, sometimes my clients do it, and scientific evidence supports the fact that you can still recover just fine while doing this.

The the original post, both methods are applicable. You have to balance frequency, volume, and intensity properly though.
