Resting repairing

dfitz86 Posts: 2 Joined: 2003/05/11	2003/05/12, 12:17 PM I haven't worked out for a while and have recently started woking out again 5-7 days a week. A full work out for me is between 3-5 hours a day. Could someone give me advice on letting my muscle repair do I have to or can I push through it.

I don't see how you could weight train 3-5 hours per day, 7 days a week (if you were training correctly and as intensly as you should be), and still be conscious. Quality not quanity is definitly the key when it comes to weight training. -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

If your looking to build muscle your workouts should be much quicker than that with much less time between sets, like 30 seconds. -------------- \"I get up in the morning around six to run for about an hour.
