if you get 36-48 hrs rest in between the muscle groups its fine

>36-48

Kek. 24 is more than enough.

If you dont feel to sore you can hit them everyday even

>>35680312
If you don't feel sore you're doing it wrong to begin with

>>35680330
Lol wut?

Maybe for your first 3 moths of lifting

>>35680339
Gains <= making tiny tears in muscle tissue, then letting them heal over => being sore

>>35680349
Gains=recovering from lifting heavy loads. Being sore = gonna make mad gains

>>35680312
>>35680349

nvm, didn't read the 'too' in 'too sore'. Sure, if they managed to heal in 12h, why not

>>35680330
Soreness means you don't have enough circulation to rid your muscles of lactic acid. In other words you don't do enough cardio.

>>35680388
No, that's acidification, or 'being really sore' as my buddies put it. tears wil always mean being sore, just way way less

so what is superior, a good workout 4x a week that hits all the muscles twice or the traditional 5x a week destroying 1 muscles group at a time approach?

>>35680370
this

Hitting muscles twice a week is actually better for natural lifters due to shorter protein synthesis compared to enhanced lifters.

>>35680312

well most studies ive read pointed to 36-48 hrs

idk where you got your 24 hr number from

>>35680269
Yes, it's actually beter to train them twice a week. Perhaps even three times a week if you're a beginner and recovery quick enough.

>>35680269
Recovery time is not to let your muscles recover, but your central nervous system. Your muscle will be recovered in 24 hours, but depending on how strenuous you train your CNS will have a different recovery rate. The first few weeks you won't notice a difference, but over time you'll stall and even go down in what you can lift. I do a 3 day split twice a week, but I do take aan extra day off every other week. You'll be fine if you're only training 4 days a week

This is solved by not going balls to the walls every workout. Of you mix lighter workouts with heavier ones training every day is feasible even for natties.
