Not if you work the muscle hard, meaning enough intense workout sets (9-12) with enough weight. This does not include warm-up sets.

So does that mean working a muscle(instensely) and resting for one one week would be too long of a rest period? I do 3 execercises for each individiual muscle.

hey steve whats the best way to drasticly increase your bench press after you have been working out for a number of years

if you properly train any major muscle groups (chest, legs, back, etc) with high intensity then you need at least 3 days to fully recover. =]

Hi Steve, Great info in your videos. Quick question, i have started to weight train again after a long long time. The next day i looked like i gained a few pounds in the stomach and i felt bloated,is this normal? Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Yes, because you are not training THE SAME MUSCLES everyday.

Hi Steve. Great Video!I have worked out for about 6 months with weights. I train 6-7 days a week and I train quite hard, but I let each muscle group rest atleast 4 days. Will my body still recover even though I hardly have any rest days?

i am a female and i am pretty muscular. after having my two kids i put on some weight that i am currently trying to get off. i don't want to build anymore muscle but i do want to tone and obviously lose the fat. how should i be lifting the weights if i dont want to gain too much more muscle. also is there an exercise that naturally lifts the breasts?? thanks alot i love your videos.

Yes, those exercises could be done more frequently even every day depending on what kind of shape you're in. The more intense the exercise the more time is needed to recover.

What about simple body weight training, no lifting of weights? Just pushups, crunches, pullups, all that jaz? Since it is low weight, high reps, could you do them all every day? This seems to be a debate between myself and friends. We are going for athletically functional over muscularity (though to an extent they are hand and hand). THanks |
