When are you ready to train again

Christophe · 01-04-2008, 05:18 PM

Just wondering if I should wait til I've completely lost that feeling of overworking my muscle group before training it at all? on the second day of upper body rest and still feeling it, though not AS much. More out of curiosity. Prob as I've just started back even my smallest of core muscles are feeling a major shake up or even some muscle groups I wasn't working.

There's a fine line between frayed muscle fibre pain and central nervous system pain so its hard to say but i would keep off that upper body for a couple more days then pound it again.Of course at this stage your muscles are crying out to be fed so if your taking on board all the correct nutrients recovery will be over sooner.

i think you should treat the body as a whole and wait till all soreness had gone.
especially if youre a natty!

Whenever you feel ready is the short answer.

Different people are going to have different conditioning and recovery levels.

Sometimes the aches you feel on the morning of a training day will magically disappear by the time it comes to train

If those aches are going to affect your lifts... then wait a day or two. The extra rest wont hurt, it will probably help.

It is a case of trial and error though really - no one every got their training and recovery right first time around.

Some of the big power lifters only train each lift once every 10 days.
