If you bench on Monday and do triceps on Tuesday then you will not get the body part rest you need.swanso5 wrote:hoe do you get 2 - 3 days rest training 4 days a week? the actual "bodypart" might get rest but the body and moe improtnatly, the nervous system doesn't...ecspecially won't most want to lift as heavy as they can every session...depends how your sessions are structuredIf you split your routine and do 1/2 on Monday, and 1/2 on Tuesday; then repeat that on Thursday and Friday, you end up with 2 and 3 day rests (if you divide the workouts intelligently). Your workouts are shorter too, and you will be able to work more intensely in the shorter workouts.
If you bench, do your triceps and shoulders on Monday and you do your lats and curls on Tuesday, then you will get the 4 day rest.
I pyramid workouts so body fatigue is generally not an issue.
