Hello everyone, I'm new to this board.
I did a heavy leg workout on monday morning and was sore until wednesday. Is it OK to train them again on saturday or do they need more recovery time?
Thanks

First off, welcome aboard.
Now, are you new to lifting? If you have been lifting for a while, you should know how your body recovers best. I personally get very sore from leg workouts and progress well on once per week. Progression is key. If you are getting stronger every workout, you are using good frequency. If you feel like you are getting burned out, switch something up. Make sure your rest and diet are in order. If you feel good and rested and can progress by training legs every 5 days then go for it!Best Meet Lifts(Raw):

Thanks Latman,
I've been lifting seriously for 5 months now, I'm 20, 5.10', 143lbs and around 6% BF. I'm trying to gain mass, I eat 6 meals/day with an average of 240g of protein and 2600 cals. I train each bodypart once every 4 to 6 days. Is this good enough or do I have to change something?
Thanks

As long as you feel your getting enough rest it should be fine, but look out for the overtraining symptoms ..... Tiredness .... lack of motivation ..... Stength decreases ..... if you experiance any of these signs .... you not resting enough.

good advice from these guys...
Try to make progression an important factor in your training..
If you are lifting more weight each week and feeling good generally you should be fine..
If you start to get tired quickly and feel yourself plateuing, chancs are you might be doing things too soon.
Good to see you aboard !

One thing I might add is that you may want to up your calories. Your protein is plenty high, but how many calories in your diet come from carbs? Fats? You may want to up your calories in these 2 macronutrients.

Yeah I agree with Latman, you need to eat more calories if you "wannabebig".
I mean, 2600 calories a day is just not gonna cut it!
I eat 1,000 right after working out!
Try eatin at least 6-8 meals a day. Your biggest meal should be right after working out. If you need more advice just ask (in the Diet and Nutrition section)
