How frequently can I work the same muscle groups in the gym? Is one day off enough?

Question

I much more enjoy working on arms and upper body than I do legs or lower body. Just worked arms and chest moderately hard on Monday and am wondering if today (Wed) is too early to do both muscle groups again ..

Answer 1

It's Good to have a Day on- Then a Day off the same sets of Muscles when working out!
You can allow too much lactic acid to be produced-therefore making the muscle set difficult to work efficiently!

I personally found the more Breaks you take -the more effective the Muscle Build and development works when in action( I'm taking Professional Rock Climbing!).

Balance the Working of Muscles with some Aerobic exercise - Allows the Muscles to tone !
We are all different and what worked for me may not necessarily work for you-But hey!

Answer 2

my opinion as a physician and a body builder that you should give any muscle group a rest of 2 days or at least 1 , because during rest day the muscle will be built , and if you don't do this the muscle will go into spasm and fatigue
