    @geechie-don7157last year Met him in Miami the year before he won Mr. O. Rest was his #1 recommendation regarding building muscle. To paraphrase him “you’ll be surprised at how many people never reach their potential because they won’t do something as simple as rest”. Classy dude… ... 685

    @Denizocal6last year Recovery is very important i give my legs at least 2 months of recovery after i train them 1960

    @tedj432last year Training for 58 yrs now. At 72 what works for me is once a week per body part. Still hold a Tx USPA record. Lost national record unfortunately. Jay you are so helpful I've followed for many years! 21

    @elmarkymarklast year Definitely right answer, it's never black and white when coming to exercise. Always working in the gray area and experimenting 10

    @thomasgumersell9607last year Rest and recovery with proper nutrition are things I always put alot of stock in. I'm 56 and have trained for 40 yrs. One learns and im still learning to this day. Really enjoyed this short video Jay. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨ 75

    @fbsouzalast year If you don't annihilate your muscles, you can train 3 times per week. Pick two exercises for body part, do 5 sets for each, and that's it. 63

    @chadstout270last year I had been doing full body for 6 days a week to cut weight, then started doing individual muscle groups once I dropped my weight. The hardest part was forcing myself to take days off but once I did I started seeing the gains I was looking for. ... 264

    @CFS1820last year Great advice. I didn’t start growing my muscles until I began to only working them out once a week 15

    @eamonsing3865last year rest is essential for the muscle, i mostly give my legs about 19 years rest since april of 2023. 166

    @Ben_____777last year When I was weights training in my early 20s I only went to the gym three times per week and was in their each time for about 35-45 minutes. I received many compliments at how much faster I was growing than most others. I placed a huge emphasis on recovery vs how long I can spend in the gym each week. I think this guy is saying something similar. ... 36

    @nursegilbeylast year He rested 5+ days because his workouts were otherworldly. 237
  • @
    @awakethemasterlast year Completely agree. 5 to 7 days. Under severe training with not help from special substances to accelerate the synthesis of protein should be at least 7 days.
    My biceps I have extended for more days even, because when you train hard back, chest or shoulder you are using basically all the muscles from your arms.

    @CallamDumonlast year I do biceps once a week. They are activated in almost every exercise such as pull ups, barbel rows etc so there's no need to focus too much on training biceps. Focus more on the main compound movements to build a solid frame ... 20

  • @
    @nathansmith5331last year It’s not just training, it’s also how much and WHAT you eat while recovering. You can speed up the process by eating the right meals. It’s not always one way or the other. 106
  • @
    @phantomshtterlast year Most people are severely under recovered and hurting their gains. Without question the absolute best gains I ever saw came from working each muscle group only once per week. I don't understand how you can assign a time frame like that for recovery when it takes twice as long in your forties and fifties as it did in your twenties. Also in my opinion one of the best things you can do is take an entire week off every couple months. I have seen exceptional results from doing that myself.

    @johnwilson8693last year He is so humble and full of knowledge. Hands down one of the top tier elite body builders to ever grace the stage. He is on my Mt. Rushmore of Body builders. Way less gear and no bubble gut ever in his career. Most of all he doesn't promote these garbage unsustainable gimmick diet's. ... 4

    @jonanylund541last year I started training again in january after a long break. Because of work I can only train thursday-sunday so I abuse myself for 3-4 days and then rest for 3-4 days. I've gotten great results from that. But I believe that nutrition and especially not eating crappy food is of equal importance as rest. ... 5

    @callanmurphy9807last year I knew a guy at a gym I went to many years ago. And he would literally train arms every day atleast 5 days a week. His arms were massive in comparison to most regular people. I asked him if he ever took a break on them and he just said no lol ... 5

    @hero124xx6 months ago Dag THANKYOU this is bicep day for me. Thankyou so much. I literally wasn't sure how long to rest for.
  • @
    @nelly890810 months ago it’s so crazy how accurate the “ rest 72 hrs “ is. when i first began bodybuilding i’d workout everyday every chance i could get and while i did see beginning gains it wasn’t until unintentionally life began getting in the way of gym time. i’ve learned to really understand and respond to my body over the years. i noticed if i went more than 3 days without any weight lifting id have - low energy weaker training sessions decreased reps/sets BUT usually after 2 days of intense workouts pushing through id bounce right back. the sweet spot for me has really been 3 days. in those 3 days i rest a lot stretch and up my water intake which then i’ve noticed on the 4th day when i’m back in the gym i can see significant growth increased energy reps/sets overall a more satisfying fulfilled training session.
    (similar to a refreshed feeling)
    i follow a push/pull split with hypertrophy to reach an aesthetic build so definitely keep in mind what goals you wana achieve just simply listen to your body.

    @hyperMcraft9 months ago I like the magic of our individuality. For me, I used to have a weakness on biceps, and started to recognize that for my body it is beneficial to train this muscle every day, absolutely different than others of mt body.

  • @
    @lancebatchelor9910last year I agree and always did a body part only once in a week. I always felt like I was still recovering if I didn’t give time for growth.
    I have always wondered how the Arnold’s, and Franco’s of their day did each body part every other day with high volume training and were.still able to put on a good amount of mass? ...

    @FJB2020LGBlast year Be very weary of those studies. Take them with a grain of salt. Our ancestors used to work their hands to the bone, they didn’t wait 72+ hours to work again. You can’t grow a farm by working once or twice a week. Your body absolutely is capable of handling much larger volumes of stress. ... 4
