i was wonder i heard somewhere i like i learned in highschool
your get muscle from lifting heavy weights you get them on your rest day when you lift light weights so my question is as followed

wouldnt it be better and more efficent if i were to lift heavier weights monday and on tuesday lift lighter weights?..anywho thanks
 
when you lift weights you tear the muscle tissue. The days off, is when it rebuilds. If you lift in the time you should be resting you will never let your body repair itself. You will constantly be breaking down your muscle regardless of how light you lift.

Rest is just as important, if not more important that the workout itself.
 
I didnt realy understand that, but if your going to do full body workouts, its best to do them three times a week (M,W,F for example)

un huh seemed like a good idea becaue if you are lifting lighter weights then the day before wouldnt the muscle still be relaxed?

I'm not sure what you are asking here. I just know, you wont find a single person who will tell you that a full body workout everyday regardless of how light you lift, is a good idea. Not anyone who knows what they are talking about anyway.
 
lifting weights everyday wont give you give you speedy results LOLz
you need resting days to allow your body to recover and rebuild muscle tissue. &
also, you need to to eat more and have better nutrition to build muscle mass as well.

If you go to the gym everyday and do the same workout everyday. your basically shetting yourself and also known as overttraining, no good comes out of it. maybe calorie loss but thats it. You will probably cause injury to yourself.
 
Slightly off topic here... i'm well aware of how important rest is as ive been a typical victim of overtraining in the past and got an injury because of it!

Anyway, im back at the weights about 6 weeks now and am starting to get really into it again - but is it ok to do some serious cardio on my rest days? I know people say its ok but my legs especially feel as if they've had as much of a workout as on my lifting days!
 
You don't grow muscles during your workout, you grow them for 36-48 hours AFTER your workout, especially while sleeping.
There is zero evidence that suggests training hard on monday, and then light on tuesday is better, or even good..in fact, evidence shows its BAD.

3x a week full body workouts with heavy sets of compound exercises should be as often as you work the whole body.

If I punch you in the face hard on monday, do you want me to punch you lightly on tuesday? didn't think so. same difference with weight lifting...you are damaging muscle tissue, and you better damn well not damage it again until its repaired. otherwise you damage it constantly to the point you LOSE muscle tissue.
 
MALKORE there is some evidence to suggest that you can train a muscle again after it has already been loaded without stoping that muscle from recovering.
but as you say protein synthesis lasts for 48hrs so there is no point in training the muscle the next day if it is already in protein synthesis..unless you just want to burn caloreis.



Title: Effects of a 7-day eccentric training period on muscle damage and inflammation.

Researchers: Chen TC, Hsieh SS.

Institution: Department of Ball-Related Sports Science, Taipei Physical Education College, Taipei City, Taiwan.

Source: Medicine and Science Sports & Exercise 2001 Oct;33(10):1732-8

Purpose: This study examined the effects of a 7-day repeated maximal isokinetic eccentric training period on the indicators of muscle damage and inflammatory response.

Methods: Twenty-two college-age males were randomly assigned to eccentric training (ET) and control groups (CON). The initial exercise was 30 repetitions of maximal voluntary isokinetic eccentric contraction (ECC1) on non-dominant elbow flexors with Cybex 6000 at 60 degrees.s-1 angular velocity. The ET group performed the same exercise for the following 6 consecutive days (referred to as ECC2 to ECC7) after ECC1. Upper arm circumference (CIR), range of motion (ROM), and maximal isometric force (MIF) were measured before, immediately after, and every 24 h for 7 consecutive days after ECC1. Plasma creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), leukocyte counts, and serum interleukin-1beta and -6 (IL-1beta, IL-6) levels were assessed before; at 2 h; and at 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 d after ECC1. Muscle soreness was measured before and for 7 consecutive days after ECC1.

Results: The ECC1 produced significant changes in most of the measures for both groups, with the exception of leukocyte counts. No indicators of increased damage were found from the second consecutive day of eccentric training to the 7th day for the eccentric training group.

Conclusion: Continuous intensive isokinetic eccentric training performed with damaged muscles did not exacerbate muscle damage and inflammation after ECC1. In addition, a muscular "adaptation effect" may occur as early as 24 h after ECC1, as shown by the ET group's performance for 6 consecutive days after ECC1.
