I have a buddy of mine in the gym,everytime i see him he is always working his chest.I go to the gym 5 times a week and everytime.he's doing chest.I asked him arent you suppose to rest those muscles?
he say's the more stress and strain you put on them the harder they will get.
AM I LOST? or am I doing my workouts wrong.
he' pretty big.
-
he's an idiot. Maybe he's on drugs, that's why he's big.
do not train your chest 5 days a week.
peace

No, he's not pretty big.
-
he's big and ripped
he says to me that he doesnt go for lifting 300 or 400 lbs
he goes for more reps at a small amount of weights.he says he does a hundred reps
for his chest.
i dont know? i know i work chest 2 times a week if i can.
-
A natural will gain even on a strange program like his. He'd have achieved more with less effort if he'd trained properly.
-
thats crazy
I guess everyones different
i have to bust my ass, and im still tring to get up to 195lbs
im at 185lbs i eat like i never seen food before

well my training partner (NPC competitor) and I train chest 7 days a week. Chest is my best body part. Go figure.
Having said that, I use very low volume training. I only do a couple warm up sets then 1 or 2 all-out sets.
-
I train chest 2-3 times a week, 10 heavy sets per workout.
-
so if you pay special attention on a certain muscle
there isnt any problems?
-
Once a week is more than enough for a large muscle group like chest.
-
i train chest 14 times a week ::)

Everyone knows you grow when you rest..lifting weights tears down the muscle and recovery builds it back up stronger than before.So think about that...if you train a muscle every day...when is it going to recover and grow?
-
if you train a muscle every day...when is it going to recover and grow?
The other 23 hours of the day. ::)
-
The other 23 hours of the day. ::)
In that case....i will do a full body workout everyday!
I will be the biggest Motherfu*ker on the planet!!!!
-
The other 23 hours of the day. ::)
yeah. lol

if resting was so important, i'd do 100000 sets in one day then take the whole month off and be the biggest guy on earth.
can be said both ways.
trials and errors. for me personally i prefer extremely high frequency. sometimes i train the same muscles twice in one day. no that's not a typo. the way i see it is, if i can go into the gym and lift at 100% strength, then i'm going. like Shawn Ray said, there is no such thing as over training, only under-recuperation.
-
he's big and ripped
he would be even bigger and more ripped if he did chest seven times a week.

Hell....do it twice a day...7 days a week.....if he did that, his chest would make Ruhl's chest non-existant....

Well what you said sorta suports the idea of needing enough rest between workouts.Yeah,you are right no such thing as overtraining only under recuperation...but MOST people cannot recuperate fully overnight(without gear) but if you can then more power to ya.
