how long does it take for biceps to recover?

Question

do you know how long it take for biceps to recover and also if you know triceps ive been working out for 3 days a week on my arms so if you can help it would be greatly appriciated.

ps i will give a top answer to who ever give the best answer.

Answer 1

Bicepts area relatively small muscle group, so id give it at least 52 hours. However for them to be totally recovered it could take up to 72 hours. 72 hours is the magic word for muscel recovery time rate. working your arms three times per week isnt smart. Thats what id call overtraining. 2 times at most is what id do. They get hammerd enough from chest and back workouts, that they really shouldnt be that high on your priority list.

Answer 2

this is from, http://www.illpumpyouup.com/articles/how-to-build-big-biceps-and-big-arms.htm

Let Them Recover. Don't underestimate the importance of allowing your biceps to recover fully from an intense training session. If you're really training your biceps to the max, than 24 or even 48 hours recovery time isn't enough. Allow at least 5-7 days before training them again.

Answer 3

it takes 1 mth to recover ur biceps by eating lots of proteins n vitamins as well as calcium.but u need to work it out 4 hours per day n 5 days weekly to get better n faster result.take care.

Answer 4

Work your arm muscles every other day. That's all the recovery that you need to build muscle. Everyday arm exercise would tear the muscles down.... no good.
