How much rest between muscle groups?

Question

I've been weight training for awhile, but I only follow the weight training program at my high school. To prevent over training, I usually just work out the muscle groups that the program tells me to on a particular day. However, sometimes I just feel like I want to lift more with the same muscle group but I'm afraid of over training. How much time does it take for each muscle group to recover? I know that certain muscles recover faster than others like the biceps being the fastest. I learned that from a book.

Answer 1

Normally about three days should be the amount of time between lifting a muscle group. You do have to be careful about overtraining as this will lead to regression of hard earned progress.

If you feel you can do more, what I recommend is increasing the intensity of your workouts. This means working each set until failure, and trying things like drop sets, pyramids, or pre-exhausting for example. Also, try going heavier if possible, as long as you're observing good form.

Keep your core lifts the primary focus of workouts (bench press, squats, deadlifts). Do these exercises first and supplementary exercises last, unless you are pre-exhausting.

Answer 2

each and every muscle crew basically needs 40 8 hours of relax, calves and abs dont choose for any relax between days however, so in case you do chest on monday, then you definately might do it back on wednesday and friday and no it wont be undesirable to do hands on the day after chest actually arnold schwarzenegger used this exacxt exercising consultation staggering right here monday morning:abs,then chest and back monday night: legs, calves, and abs tuesday morning:abs, then shoulders, and hands tuesday night: abs and calves this exercising consultation replaced into repeated and sunday replaced right into a destroy day, and it relatively is an relatively stable stepped forward exercising consultation for bodybuilders

Answer 3

id say around 5 seconds because you want to work the abs to exhaustion so you can feel the tightness of them. then to end go on a jog or a walk...... :-) ur welcome

OoO i thought you meant all in one workout...if ur gonna workout all muscle groups...do it one group one day another the next...give them id say about 2-3 days to rest before working them... sorry for the mistake....previously misunderstood the question.hope i helped :-)
