[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 95131, member: 15235"] The variable that people don't seem to address when talking about number of days per week is whether one goes to failure or not. I used to go to failure and beyond, and training that way I needed at least 3-5 days to recover. I now don't go beyond the point where I have to really grind against the weight and I am now much stronger across a broader array of lifts, and able to lift much more often. A good example is that we all work calves 7 days per week however it is usually well within our ability. I am not necessarily recommending what I do, however one of the biggest misconceptions in lifting is that one needs to go to failure to improve. If that were true farmers and gymnasts would not be strong, but they're really strong. [/QUOTE]
