A member asked:
Please help, how much rest is recommended between weight lifting workouts for muscle building?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimum 24hrs!: You can lift daily, but you should do so by exercising opposing groups. Example: bench presses one day-the next lat pulls and shrugs. A good workout can be done in twenty minutes if intense!
