Determine optimal rest time between workouts for each muscle group
You're ready to train again when: muscle soreness has mostly subsided, you feel energized and motivated, performance is at or above previous levels, and no lingering tightness or discomfort.
Most muscle groups can be trained 2-3x per week with adequate recovery. Larger muscles (legs, back) need more recovery than smaller ones (arms, calves). Adjust based on how you feel, not just time elapsed.
Watch for: persistent fatigue, decreased performance, mood changes, frequent illness, elevated resting heart rate, and poor sleep. If experiencing these, take extra rest days and consider deloading.
