How important are rest days really?
How important are rest days really?
Lift each day for a month and figure it out yourself
stop taking rest days and see what happens
Not OP, but I tried that and nothing fucking happened.
Then you weren't working hard enough
ill tell u if u post 3 more pics of this lady
resting is key in doing any intense physical activity
Who is that in pic?
dyel
I always feel like garbage on rest days
Looks like a tranny or a liberal or some shit
same, find something to do
alright
Plot twist, she's the OP
Is that you posting yourself?
For most people I think they need less rest that they take. More important is good sleep and eating right and hydration.
The only time I need more than 0-1 rest days a week is because I fucked up and forgot to eat or went drinking or didnt sleep well.
>lady
That is not you lmao, why are you doing this?
Literally a 9/10 face
Fuckin hell

Rest days are Important if you want your muscles to repair afterwards.
It's 2019 if you're not down with fucking effeminate boi pussy you're pretty much a fag
Post moaarrr or you are an absolute faggot
You need way less "rest" than most gymcels think, but you still need to rest.
You look like an ugly lesbian
Rest days, deload weeks and rest weeks will save you from snap city as you get older
My little brother used to go hard in the gym 7 days a week developed permanent golfers elbow and can't lift anymore
He's 25
I personally take about ten days off every three or four months. Zero strength decrease and gives my joints recovery time
hurrr duuur nooo shit faggit
u llook like ugly trangender boy sry
She looks way better with the shorter hair, though I guess I’m not that objective.
Rest days are pretty important, in my experience it takes a while to really overtrain, like 2 weeks or so with no rest days, and then you start feeling like shit, have no focus and your mind is constantly foggy. Even if that doesn’t happen, another big issue are your tendons and stabilizing muscles needing rest to heal, not just the large muscles. Its easy to get tendonitis or injuries if you skip rest days, not to mention you simply won’t perform as well assuming you actually train hard
This. Also you are a faggot.
Now we talkin boi

>still no qt gf (bf (gf))
That's a girl. Ear tips are higher or in line with eyebrows.
is that your girlfriend?
FUG
Damn you figured it out!
Everyone has been lying about rest days since the beginning of bodybuilding.
The universal advice is just for funsies.
cute pic
She is quite unattractive desu
she doesnt look like one tho
This, you're not pushing yourself nearly as much as you think you are, and certainly not enough to take 3-4 rest days every week.
What thr fuck are you saying.
Sexplain yourself
N-no homo bruv
She is pretty qt
I was just kidding. It is defs a dude.
More you fucking cuck.
Post more so I can laugh at how FUGLY she is
Are real those tattoos?
Has chink eyes lmao
i hope not, and i normally like tattoos
Are you going to dox her some more?
>Be me
>train like crazy everyday
>kind of plateau
>decide to rest
>look at myself 48h latern it's like I never worked out in my life
>Try to do my usual routine
>Cannot, it's like I never worked out in my life
Wtf, if I stop even one day it's all gone, fuck this shit and fuck the world.
No such thing as overtraining, just under-recovering. If you can recover while training everyday it's fine. That's a big IF.
1day a week works for me. I take sundays off
Tattoos are never real dumbass,
Rest, combined with good sleep and stress management, is honestly just as important as the exercise itself.
Probably, whats the chance she manages to apply them again and again just the same way months apart for different pics?
? uh no i just got here i dont even know who this is
absolutely disgusting.
sigh :(
What's wrong?
During the rest time is when your body repairs damaged muscle cells which in turn will do that "supercompensation" thing or in other words allow you to adapt and overcome.
Beginners can recover pretty quickly so if you find yourself being able to go full out on a daily basis, you are still in beginner mode.
For intermediates and beyond, you will require longer rest times to be able to adapt hence why your routine needs to change.
How the fuck do you know when your good to go though?I only do push ups and pull ups. Does that mean I shouldnt be resting compared to weightlifters?
Also I only do about 3 sets of each per day
>How do you know when you are good to go though?
okay, are you talking about rest between sets? Because thats different. This aspect can also be trained to specifically deal with some goal you are trying to reach such as muscle size, strength, mimicking endurance of some sport, etc.
The amount of sets doesn't really matter as long as you are putting in the same amount of work. Such as doing 5x5 is similar to 3x8. However, both will affect muscular endurance in different ways.
Whats your goal? Increasing muscle size, strength, endurance, etc.?
I did two weeks of no rest, full body:
Chin ups
Rows
OHP
Incline Bench
Curls
Pushdowns
Lat raises
Squats (low volume)
Deadlifts (low volume)
Legraises
Made like 2 months of gains in those two weeks, but definitely felt knackered and sore. Wanted to sleep 24/7. Could definitely only do it on a holiday.
I mean the days where you don't work out. After I finish a set, I work something else out before returning to it in like 5 minutes.
The problem is, I have no fucking idea if I am doing enough or not. 1-2 hours later after working out, I usually feel the energy to be able to do the whole workout all over again which makes me feel like I probably didn't do enough. Even though I physically cant do anymore and I am grunting by the 3rd set.
I dont really have a goal. I am just aiming for something like pic related.
I do cardio ( running ) once every 2 days and currently do push ups, pull ups, and curls everyday. Ive also been trying to up the amount of protein and food i eat
Another fake thread for you to shill some Instagram whore. Why don't faggot shills like OP get banned already?
This. I got banned for "off topic" picture when it was about fitness and people just posting thots and other dumb threads stay up.
Basically what I'm saying is fuck jannies
And I mean at least post an attractive female
Woah wtf I know this person
looks like you are trying to bodybuild.
You want to increase volume then which means you want to increase number of reps per set such as 5x15. If you are doing something like 3x12, you can try to increase that to 5x12.
If you feel as though you can go again within a couple of hours as if you didn't workout at all that day, i don't really know what to say to that. I never ran a bodybuilding routine so someone else will have to answer your questions on this.
Not important at all.
t. roider
I am confused which side is the reps and which is the sets? You said I should be doing more reps but then said 3x12 to 5x12. Isnt the first number sets?
They arent. Rest from certain muscle groups are more so, but you dont need any day to "rest"
On my rest day I do cardio and abs/calves since they dont get any real direct training in my primarily compound lift routine.
If you're not on roids, they are pretty important. I did bulgarian a while back, benched every day and put about 50lbs on my bench in a month and some change. Wound up snapping my arm up surprisingly and not my shoulder.
I'll admit I'm smarter now and I could probably avoid injury pressing every day from shit I learned from rehabing. But I still won't ever do it again. Just listen to your body brah, if your shit feels sore as fuck it probably isn't wise to go back at it. If you're just a little sore you're probably fine.
Why's "she" in prison
Wat. I have the opposite, if I take 1-2 extra rest days after a long period of doing PPLxPPLx I actually come back feeling stronger and can usually smash PRs
>She
Damn.
OP is actually a trap that is posting here to see if he can pass or not. No you cannot and you look absolutely fucking hideous.
Yes
Yea fuck resting
If I don't get reps in something I get too antsy and start thinking dangerous throughts
I need my out for aggression
That's what sleep and protein is for
ew wtf is that thing
For me rest days are just cardio days now.
ayy lmao
