If you work the same muscle group too much you are allowing room for injury there needs to be enough recovery so the muscle remodels and grows. Don't make the mistake of doing a great workout and minimizing the recovery part of it. As you progress in size and strength you will need to take even more rest and recovery time. -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
