Rest: How long is long enough?
How long is the optimal time to rest in between work outs of the same muscle group? I've read and heard many different opinions about this. Some say a week is enough, some say 48 hours... this is a huge difference in opinion. I want facts.
Obviously you should never work out when your muscles are still sore, but the only time my muscles are really sore is if i haven't worked out for a month and then hit the gym. Once my body gets used to lifting, I no longer experience soreness on the same level (if at all). So how do I know when my muscles are fully prepared for another heavy weight raping?

Yup, all of those. Every person is different too. Train enough and you'll be in tune with your body and just know.

You might never get to the level of being totally preventing overtraining or knowing when to increase volume, but you'll eventually figure it out. In the beginning its best to just stick with a program until something goes awry.

I don't know the facts so I can't help you. I think it depends on the muscle groups involved, the volume and intensity of the workouts, the condition of the subject, etc.
