the general healthy lifestyle thread

Work each major bodypart once every 2-7 days. The exact frequency will be determined by factors such as rep range, intensity and exercise selection. These factors, in turn, are influenced by bone-structure and nervous system recovery ability.

That's the figure I've seen quoted.  I'll look for a study later.

Looking into it, protein synthesis does stop at 48 hours.  The figure I had seen quoted factors in CNS, etc. recovery.  You were right.  I was wrong.   :dontknow:

Big respect for admitting your mistake, takes a real man for that.
Anyway, how is your work out going?

i have worked out my legs a little, but i think freestyling gives my legs enough work out. I do workout with my legs with the barbell but not as much as my upper body.

typical mistake. huge upper body and skinny legs does it look good?
also strong legs makes u better at fs

It looks funny. But leg work out is boring. I get it from running instead, fat burn and leg work out all in one, couldn't get any better =)

A big upper body and a really skinny lower body looks really ugly.

Thing is you don't even gotta work out your legs that much too keep them in somewhat ok size to match your body

no, when i meant enough workout i didnt mean my legs are getting huge because they are not. I meant that if i went and freestyled then came in and worked out then i would be constantly tired all the time.

Yeeh, would probably be to much even though I  think that freestyle don't make you feel especially tired .
One alternative could be to work on your legs maybe 2-3 times a week and then rest the next day if you don't wanna be tired for to long ..

Squats and leg presses every few days should be enough.

If lowerbody freestyling doesn't make your legs tired then you're doing it wrong. I'm the power polak and even I can get tired. You will get tired you just have to do it the right way  :biggrin:

It depends how big your upper body is. Some people are gym freaks and have heaps bigger bodies. Working your legs is a must if you want to bulk up your body.
