2 days enough rest for bench? (DE/ME)

[jtteg_x]

Tuesday was my DE bench workout which consisted of speed bench and DB bench followed by tricep work. Will I be fine training ME Bench Friday (48 hours later)? I plan to go floor press (4 sets) and 3-board CG (lockout work).

keep 72 hours between the sessions...you make the decision here :thumbup:

youd be fine doing it once or so...just dont make it a habit. It will lead to overtraining if done on a regular basis...

Id say 3 days.I do ME Bench on monday,ME deadlift on tue,wed-off,DE or assistance on thurs,ME Squat on fri.

DE on Tuesday and ME on Friday is 72 hours, not 48 like you are thinking. So you should be just fine.

I do DE on Tuesday and ME on Friday. I know I am only a special education teacher, but I swear that is 72 hours.

I do DE bench Tuesday, ME on Friday and recover fine.

DO what you can.

If you can go through an entire westside cycle in 4 days do it. If you feel like you need rest than rest.

I have learned that rest days in programs are useless unless you need them.

you say 48 hours later, but if you bench on tuesday, you will have rested 3 times (tues.night,weds.night.thurs.night) before benching again on friday.
I don't know enough about DE and ME and how they effect muscles in training (different fiber types) so I will just pose it as a question instead.
If 3 days isn't enough recoop time for bench, is there enough difference between DE and ME to make a difference?

Haha! I was thinking the same thing.

I do my DE stuff on Tues and we bench heavy on Sat mornings. Its been like that for me for 2 years.

[Travis Bell]

I do ME on Tuesday and DE on Saturday but soon will be going back to ME on Wednsday and DE Saturday when I get back to Westside
