Training

misfit

If you ache and hurt from training. Do you take a day off or do you train through it.

If ur upper body is sore, train ur legs or visa versa. Just structure ur weekly split so ur not hammering similar areas on consecutive days.

Bodyworks

if a muscle aches, it hasn't recovered from the last workout yet, so leave it alone until it stops aching. if that takes a week, so be it.

if youre natural i think youre body would benefit from a days rest regardless of training a body part that isnt sore.
deads and squats work the whole body...

einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know.

Depends if you are following single or dual factor training...

As you asked the question, I'd guess you're are following Single Factor Training, in which case train when your muscles have recovered sufficiently to allow you to train.

If I have a little ache in my legs, I'll still train legs.

If I can't walk and struggle to get upstairs... Then I won't train legs...

i always train if a that part is still sore from last workout, i know it might not be good for me but i don't feel relaxed if i don't train (can be a bit of a hyper ****), lol

i always rest if its more than a very very small ache, hard to explain but its what i feel comfortable with. Guess its to do with learning how your body copes while recovering and when its recovered.

I rest the individual bodypart entirely. I'm working on a different training programme right now as a natural where I have broken my workouts down into 6. I thus train my whole body over 6 workouts so roughly I only train each body part once every 9/10 days. I feel this gives a large recovery time whilst massaging my mental health by allowing me to train frequently. Also my lagging parts receive more focus and have improved noticeably.
