im not really sure how it works, but u can ask the gym isntructor there if there is?? mine here always have one instructor to help if any...

Best is alternate days, from what i think, and what my friend told me
-
thanks guys... not going today... hah!
-
Depends on your workouts... 5-day body split workouts of course have to go consecutive days...
-
You would'nt want to do deadlifts the day after squats coz too many similar muscles are worked.
For beginners,a 3 non consecutive day/week full body routine is the way to go.

This is not true. You do not have to feel your muscles aching to know you trained enough. The best gauge is of course lifting heavier weights the next time round. I too do not feel much muscle ache after I gym, yet my lifts have increased steadily after every workout.

If you want your muscles to ache, there is no need to train the next day again with the same muscle group. You just have to increase your intensity in the next gym session.
Basically you need to rest your muscles for recovery or else it will lead to over training and you won't want that to happen as it hampers your growth and decrease your muscle performance. Although you don't feel aching at all, even if it's a session in the gym there is still some muscle involvement and training inside. And thus recovery and nutrition is sometimes consider as more important than preparing what kinda training you want.
Just remember to always alternate your training days or split your muscle groups into different days. Always remember to let your muscles have at least 48 hours of rest.

in army no time to rest muscles.
-
Should give 1 days rest at least. For me, I work out 3 times a week, so its either 1,3,5 or 2,4,6. Giving my body sufficient rest in between to recover.
-
If you do upper/lower split,you can train 2 days in a row.
-
o In any gym training regime it is important to put in ur 100% effort such that u can fully maximize ur training creating more muscle growth. On the other hand, resting should be done adequately. So that muscle fibers can recover and in turn create muscle growth. Therefore this is showed that bodybuilder, they tend to arrange their training schedule in such a way that they allow the trained muscle to rest while training another untrained muscle. Rest and recovery is very important. Without those improvements will be slowed or worst injury will form.

side track abit.... if i workout in the gym today and i do cardio the next day would it hinder my muscle recovery rate?
-
It wont affect the rate of recovery provided it is done correctly. It is a good combination gym and cardio together. Actually I encourage this form of training. Rest is vital. For all gymers, beginners and advance, I suggest that you u avoid cardio when your muscles especially ur thighs are still aching from gym. Probably couple of days later. I assume basic cardio like jogging or swimming.
-
yes, basic cardio like jogging, but the distance are from 6-10km. As i've read up on the net that long distance running burns your muscles. So how "long" is it considered long?
