3 days. Maybe a bit less for upper body, bit more for legs.

Every muscle that tears, never fully recovers. This is why living things die (aside from sickness). If our muscles didn't tear, we would live for eons. The less you "build" muscle, the longer you will likely live.

It depends on a lot of factors

>diet
>genetics
>intensity of training

Remember, recovery is NOT the same as growing. You can work out hard enough to need 7 days to recover, but it doesn't mean your muscles will be growing for 7 days.

This is exactly the reason why elite BBers use bodypart splits, and also the reason why noobs are retarded for thinking jumping on a 5 day BB split will make them look good.
As a noob, you don't need crazy volume for each bodypart to grow, so you can progress with work that only takes a couple days to recover from, hence full body routines or higher frequency PPL type routines.

As an elite lifter, you have to hit each muscle so damn hard to make it grow, and this is why you have to compromise frequency for the sake of gains, by giving each muscle 4-5 days to recover from this necessary volume.
