@@Lambo_567Don’t be so sure. The research on this is kind of profound… In the upper body, they found that muscular atrophy begins to set in around the 8 day mark following the last workout of 3 or more sets. But strangely, the lower body(and spinal erectors) did not follow this trend and instead would recover ~90% in the first 7 days then over the next 350-500 days the muscle continued making incrementally smaller gains in growth and repair; ending up significantly bigger and stronger than it started. Avg % increase was 109.5%(strength), 111.0%(volume) and 104.5%(tendon/ligament score). The research team dubbed the phenomenon “lower extremity micropertrophy”. Fascinating right?! I personally train legs every 5th day but idk, our OP here might be on the something.

Not how muscle building works. You only need a maximum of 4 days if you have bad genetics and anything after that usually means you are working out to hard or with too much volume. You can still build muscle like that but it mostly means your on the line of too much and Just a small adjustment to your routine would improve your strength and size overall.

@@earlcoles5215 muscles need to be stretched and fibers broken then re-healed to be bigger and stronger for the specific purpose. When you do a certain amount of sets it activates that muscle and helps it grow quicker but when you do too many you regress the muscle in to a weaker variant because it doesn’t have time to heal. 12 sets is way to many and is proven by many scientists and natural body builders. The optimal sets is under 8. And for another thing is that muscles never take a whole week to heal and if it does you have serious problems. If you want your muscles to optimally heal wait 3 days and work a different group in between or if you use supplements wait 2 days and work a different group in between and you’ll gain muscle as fast as possible. Tho sometimes you will need a longer recovery time.

Most people are severely under recovered and hurting their gains. Without question the absolute best gains I ever saw came from working each muscle group only once per week. I don't understand how you can assign a time frame like that for recovery when it takes twice as long in your forties and fifties as it did in your twenties. Also in my opinion one of the best things you can do is take an entire week off every couple months. I have seen exceptional results from doing that myself.

@@earlcoles5215 Excellent question. Think of recovery as the process of repairing and putting back what was used (resources) during the workout (proteins, glucose, calcium, sodium etc etc) Post recovery, super compensation needs to take place "building upon or adding to, the current foundation" to ensure the body is stronger or faster etc able to tolerate future training stress. Now, think of the nervous system as the control center. Without neural input the muscle will not contract (people with spinal injury causing loss of movement). Also, think of the brain as an amplifier, as you train the muscle gets stronger through stronger neutral inputs, order of fiber contraction and also bigger fibers etc. (Think the Olympics power lifters "light weight competitors are smaller but much stronger" pound for pound vs body builders) the nervous system plays a huge role in how you feel and perform. I.e. you feel tired and drained...hope this clarifies, neurophysiology is a dense subject hard to simply if a few words

His idea of volume was usually pretty substantial. He typically trained each muscle group with 30+ sets and heavy weights. Like someone once told me, riding a bike trains your quads, but you can ride a bike every day because of the difference in volume and intensity with riding vs squats

it’s so crazy how accurate the “ rest 72 hrs “ is. when i first began bodybuilding i’d workout everyday every chance i could get and while i did see beginning gains it wasn’t until unintentionally life began getting in the way of gym time. i’ve learned to really understand and respond to my body over the years. i noticed if i went more than 3 days without any weight lifting id have - low energy weaker training sessions decreased reps/sets BUT usually after 2 days of intense workouts pushing through id bounce right back. the sweet spot for me has really been 3 days. in those 3 days i rest a lot stretch and up my water intake which then i’ve noticed on the 4th day when i’m back in the gym i can see significant growth increased energy reps/sets overall a more satisfying fulfilled training session. (similar to a refreshed feeling) i follow a push/pull split with hypertrophy to reach an aesthetic build so definitely keep in mind what goals you wana achieve just simply listen to your body.

I agree and always did a body part only once in a week. I always felt like I was still recovering if I didn’t give time for growth. I have always wondered how the Arnold’s, and Franco’s of their day did each body part every other day with high volume training and were.still able to put on a good amount of mass?

I've exercised muscle when I should have been resting which is okay to a certain point. If you do it continuously eventually something will give, which means torn ligaments usually. I made massive gains but I also tore ligaments from over lifting without proper rest.

Be very weary of those studies. Take them with a grain of salt. Our ancestors used to work their hands to the bone, they didn’t wait 72+ hours to work again. You can’t grow a farm by working once or twice a week. Your body absolutely is capable of handling much larger volumes of stress.

@@wigletron2846 I believe you can totally obliterate it but you MUST allow enough time to recover and grow. Dorian Yates has a very good analogy about using a piece of sandpaper on your palm to cause skin irritation. Same with the damage to the muscle tissue. I started HIT / HD training recently doing 1 set to complete failure per exercise. And it works for me. I completely destroy myself during those intense 40 minutes sessions but then I wait 7 days until I go and do the same workout again.

@@ChuckNorris-bf5cj Yeah I get that. I’m sure it works fine. But while doing chest you’ll hit shoulders and triceps. So if you do arms or shoulders that will end up being more than 1 a week. After years of chasing the pump and working out 5 days a week I switched to strong lifts 5x5 program. 3 days a week focusing exclusively on the big compound lifts and getting stronger. I had an embarrassing squat deadlift etc for my size and I wanted to get stronger.

He’s on the juice guys. More muscle = more intensity = longer rest periods. There’s one dude who was on the Mr.Olympia stage that trained like once a month. This is not you!😂 3-4 days while doing high intensity training is plenty. If you’re super sore something else is going on and you need to fix your program or form/mobility.
