    Working a muscle …
    Working a muscle one a week is for HIT dudes! It has nothing to do with steroids. Most guys on steroids train much more then that because their bodies, with the addition of steroids, repair so much faster. They can handle a larger work load on more days.

    it totally depends on the muscle, i find working pecs and shoulders the longest to recover. im a teen and i find 1 day for these muscles is enough recovery time. other exercises for me like bicep curls etc tend to be like 20 minutes.

    Different muscle. But steroids speed muscle synthesis, repair and recovery making it much easier.

    I saw on YouTube some vids about Jay Cutler and Markus Rühl and they both said that they work out 2 times a DAY! Lol. They must be very fit.

    Do they workout the same muscles twice a day or different muscles?

    Yeah 2 weeks is a very long time, at most my legs have been soar a week, but you should be good resting 3-4 days.

    I prefer resting that long, 48 hours is too short for me.

    No you’re fine. If you waited 4 weeks…you’d be fine. I do 1 HARD set of squats every 2 weeks. My legs have never been stonger. By training less, but HARDER, with more rest, I got much bigger and stronger. Don’t try to train 100% at every workout. Build towards it over 4 weeks or so; pick up the intensity and poundages as the weeks go by. On the last week, hit it at 110% so to speak. The change direction and start another phase at the lower intensities and build it up again over 4 weeks.

    Hey Steve, I …
    Hey Steve, I started doing high intensity training after reading a book based on the workouts of Mike Mentzer. I have 3 different lifting days and usually resy 3-4 days between each workout give or take a day or 2 because of work, school, ect… Anyway, say I were to do legs 1 day then didn’t do them again for a week and a half or so, is this too much rest? Should I be training more often? I’ve heard that rest is a big part of muscle repair and growth but almost 2 weeks is a long time. Thanks

    I think nobody can give you any better advice, no personal trainer or fitness guru, but YOUR BODY. After training just rest as much as you feel what time is needed to recover.

    Start ripping …
    Start ripping more often, studies show that ripping makes the amino acids in your body flush throughout your system. Thus causing faster repair after muscles have been worked out and are repairing.

    Hi Steve. I am at the point where I can’t wipe my butt because my biceps are so huge. Also, I cant wash my hair. Some dude at the gym told me I am swole. I do not know what this means. Does this mean I am like Peter from Family Guy? Love your body, or at least love mine.

    P.S. I’m black

    Ok, Tahnks. Just one other thing when i do bicep curls i fell it in my forearms more than my bicep. Is this due to bad form or too heavy weights?

    You’re not sore …
    You’re not sore because you’re getting into shape. Your muscle have gotten bigger and they are used to the weight you’re using. Time to increase the intensity by increasing the weights, sets, reps, exercises or a combination of all of these.
