@milesrulezz you OBVIOUSLY have NO idea what you are talking about, lmAo. Dude, you need some serious help with your training if your comment isn't a joke-comment. You must look like a skinny piece of beef jerky if you're training like that, btw, because you're "training" like a girl if you're not using weights. Also, a SURE tell you have no idea what you're talking about is your "training" includes NO leg work at all. Search twinmuscleworkout on here and get REAL educated ;-p
Hi Steve, what is your opinion on weight training every muscle group only once per week with medium-high intensity (lets say 3 sets of 1 to 3 diff. exercises) with the aim to just maintain fitness.
What if you combine with cardio per muscle group or if you combine it with another sport activity which includes basic (non weight lifting) conditioning? Thanks.
So it's ok to work out each muscle group twice a week? Maybe take an extra week off every two months, just to make sure? If we're talking low rep one session, higher rep the other. High intensity (like 45min max).
I personally need about 5 days before all the soreness is gone after I train certain muscle. That's why I do 1 workout/week/musclegroup. 48-72hrs is enough if you only do with medium intensity. I'd never do a full-intensity workout for the same musclegroup after only 72hrs. That's not enough time for the muscle to rebuild.
Hi Steve, thank you for the video. I work out every day at the gym, and I lift as much as I can and I am tired at the end of the day, but no matter how hard I lift, tommorow my muscles are not sore (this is only the case with my upper body muscles) can I work out my upper body every day? is that healthy?
unfortunately I eat too much ribs, steaks, cakes, cookies, poutine, fries, burgers, and junk food. I am not planning to stop that though.
@PizzaCakeSteak If you're training any muscle hard you should give it at least 48 hours of rest. Maybe it's time to incorporate more basic exercise, a few more sets, and maybe a few additional exercises.
I am looking to build up but also to burn fat , i am 16 , 6 foot 1 and i weigh 91kg and i train in BJJ three times a week. This is my program for the gym: Squats with bar, bench press, pull ups, bicep curls, upright rows and then i go for a swim i do this three-four times a week is this good for what i want to achieve ?
hi steve, I train back and bis traps ond day skip a day do legs then skip a day and do chest and tris and shoulders , I"ve noticed alot of gains in strength and mass in a month i've put on 9 pounds of mass check with a couple of differ tools on was a fat caliper and another was an eletronic calculater at the gym, will I keep seeing these gains as long as i keep increasing the weight. thanks your fan mike

@MexicanPride171 You'll typically just be tired and not have as much strength. You have to over train for a few weeks before you might lose any visible muscle.
@BodyPerformanceTV EVERYBODY THAT TRAINS HAS OVERTRAINED THEM SELVES ONE TIME OR ANOTHER AND U R RIGHT, U WILL FEEL WEAK AND DRAINED, THATS HOW U KNOW U R OVER TRAINING AND ITS TIME TO CUT BACK A BIT. LET YOUR BODY TELL U WHEN ITS BEING USED TO MUCH,AND LISTEN TO WHAT ITS TELLING U.SOMETIMES I EVEN TAKE A WEEK OFF ESPECIALLY IF SOMETHING STARTS TO HURT OR GETS ABNORMALLY SORE.
I've heard this method time and time again, and I always ask myself: How often do professional--and how frequent--athletes train? They must train at least once a day on the WHOLE body! Especially depending upon the sport. My sport of choosing would be Mixed Martial Artist, those guys I know train every day for at least 5 days a week, maybe 6, and they train their whole bodies all the time. So my question is: Is this method wrong or counterproductive?

@johnosandra I'm confused, what's the argument here? And secondly, I don't believe you've ever trained in MMA, mainly because of your blanket (and baseless) statement in regards to the manliness of MMA fighters. And the frequency of training doesn't equivocate to the size/mass of your body. That's just plain ludicrous and incredibly ignorant.
@johnosandra Man, 2 years sure makes you an expert. I'd take you more seriously if there was an iota of intelligence in this comment--especially when it came to grammar and spelling. Peace.
@Ronnock THOSE GUYS R TRAINING FOR ENDURANCE,THATS Y THEY TRAIN EVERY DAY,I TRAINED LIKE THAT WHEN I BOXED.WEIGHT TRAINING IS DIFFERENT U R TRAINING FOR STRENGTH SO U NEED RECOVERY TIME.EACH BODY PART HARD AND HEAVY ONCE A WEEK.THATS WHAT I DO,AFTER MY BOXING CAREAR ENDED I STARTED WEIGHT TRAINING,I BOXED AT 168LBS NOW IM 240LBS.SO IT WORKS FOR ME.TRY IT FOR 3-4 MONTHS AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT WORKS.
@neilorourke71 If you do it once in a while, nothing. If you do it often this will not allow your muscles to completely recover and you will eventually begin to lose strength and size.

hey bro! love your videos! makes sense all the time! i gotta a question for you, i want to "level up" the intensity of my workouts. i've been bodybuilding for 3 years now. just want your opinion on this. i wanted to train each body part strictly once a week at a higher volume and intensity. i do a total of 15-20 sets for major muscles and 10-15 sets on minor muscles.you think it's a good idea giving it a whole week off rather than a 48 or 72 hour rest? no steroids for me. ^_^
@dsouzand Different things work for different people, but just remember that your muscles grow while they are resting so If you work them before they have recovered your doing more harm than good. I like the look of your example, It's pretty much what I do at the moment. I used to train nearly every day and do each body part twice a week but never really saw gains so I looked at the less is more approach. Bodybuildings all about experience, You've got to try things out and see what works for you
This is kinda a weiry topic. I think its harder than just putting a time tag on or judging by how sore you are. For example, I have been training for a while now, and now my legs don't get sore the next day at all (when I first started it was pretty bad DOMS). But I don't believe I should train legs everyday due to lack of soreness, and training them in 72 hours would not be good either because something like the squat or deadlift (most demanding back exercise imo) is very taxing on the cns.
A few basic things to know, if you are trying to gain size: you cannot just gain lean muscle straight up. Divide your training into cycles, heavy and light. During the heavy training you lift heavy, do fewer reps and take in more calories, thus the gain of muscle and fat. During a light cycle, you include cardio, increase the amount of reps and eat fewer calories. Of course it is more complicated than just heavy vs. light, but thats the basic gest of it.

48 hrs? to repair and build muscle takes at least a week if not more, if your training the same muscle more than once a week its like picking at a wound and making it bleed again, your just simply not giving your body enough time not just to recover but to actually build muscle, i go to the gym 3 times a week but only hammer each muscle once every 2 weeks
well i did alot of chair dips. my triceps are on fire the next day. i am trying to get way buffer, should i train triceps twice a week plus biceps twice a weak abs twice a weak. and cardio once a weak, any sugestions what i should do. a workout plan anything
eat a shit load of protein at least 1.5 grams per pound of body weight. train everything not just your arms and abs man. and make sure your calories in are higher than your calories out. you will get buff...just watch what you put into your mouth.
Working a muscle one a week is for HIT dudes! It has nothing to do with steroids. Most guys on steroids train much more then that because their bodies, with the addition of steroids, repair so much faster. They can handle a larger work load on more days.
so is it bad that i usually bench flat for about 20 - 25 minutes and do 15 sets of 6 reps every day??? and then another 5 - 10 minutes benching at a incline... wen i start off fresh im benching 135 6 times and i weight about 128... should i wate a day.i work hard but i also dont get too sore..just alittle???? someone please let me know.....
it totally depends on the muscle, i find working pecs and shoulders the longest to recover. im a teen and i find 1 day for these muscles is enough recovery time. other exercises for me like bicep curls etc tend to be like 20 minutes.
@WasGibtsLeute Different muscles. Theres also more great info on my BlogTalkRadio show. Go there search & Steve Turano. The show can also be downloaded from iTunes. The most recent shows can also be heard on my website home page (at the bottom) once they upload. Tell a friend! ~Steve
@WasGibtsLeute the reason that they can do it is because they take roids, if a regular person workedout 2 times a day for very long they would overtrain and lose muscle or hurt themselves.
hey, i currently have 12.7 inch arms and am hoping for 16 inch or above im 17 years old and my chest and shoulder muscles are fairly bigger than the rest of my body lol! i was wondering whats the best thing for me to gain fast muscle on my arms? and for how long should i train for? i have 13.5 inch arms when i flex
No you're fine. If you waited 4 weeks...you'd be fine. I do 1 HARD set of squats every 2 weeks. My legs have never been stonger. By training less, but HARDER, with more rest, I got much bigger and stronger. Don't try to train 100% at every workout. Build towards it over 4 weeks or so; pick up the intensity and poundages as the weeks go by. On the last week, hit it at 110% so to speak. The change direction and start another phase at the lower intensities and build it up again over 4 weeks.
Hey Steve, I started doing high intensity training after reading a book based on the workouts of Mike Mentzer. I have 3 different lifting days and usually resy 3-4 days between each workout give or take a day or 2 because of work, school, ect... Anyway, say I were to do legs 1 day then didn't do them again for a week and a half or so, is this too much rest? Should I be training more often? I've heard that rest is a big part of muscle repair and growth but almost 2 weeks is a long time. Thanks
I think nobody can give you any better advice, no personal trainer or fitness guru, but YOUR BODY. After training just rest as much as you feel what time is needed to recover.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hi Steve. I am at the point where I can't wipe my butt because my biceps are so huge. Also, I cant wash my hair. Some dude at the gym told me I am swole. I do not know what this means. Does this mean I am like Peter from Family Guy? Love your body, or at least love mine.
Start ripping ass more often, studies show that ripping ass makes the amino acids in your body flush throughout your system. Thus causing faster repair after muscles have been worked out and are repairing.
Mr. Turano i was wondering why it was that i train my arms and chest and feel no more soreness. it makes me think im gaining no muscle and my arms arent as tight(hard) as they were when i started lifting. please Help!!
I was woundering if you could help me with some.After my workouts i don't seem to be sore anymore, i was woundering if u could tell me why this is and if i am still gaining muscle and strength even though i aint sore?
You're not sore because you're getting into shape. Your muscle have gotten bigger and they are used to the weight you're using. Time to increase the intensity by increasing the weights, sets, reps, exercises or a combination of all of these.
Sure. Slow continuous physical labor is not quite the same as explosive, intense weight training. This activities stresses and damages the muscle and uses up valuable gylcogen. Both of these activities are really what recovery is about. Healing the muscle and replacing glycogen.
Hi Steve. The recovery process seems like a mith to me sometimes. I travel a lot and I see this construction workers in development countries who phisically work their bodies very hard every day and can see well develop muscles. I don't know about their health but, my point is, they do develop outstanding muscle without considering a recovery time. Any thoughts?
Yes BUT doing the right exercises with intensity is the best. I bench and incline bench every week for chest becasue they are the best exercises for chest. Why take them a way just to do another exercise which is less effective? This si what people don't understand about P90X. If a fast balls, curve balls, or jump shots are working you don't stop doing them!
Steve whats more effective,doing the same routine excerises week after week or changeing routines week after week? i guess it doesnt matter,just how intense u train will give you results,right?
IF you are working out HARD 1) Have a carb & protein shake after working out 2) Make sure you're eating enough in general. 3) Make sure you're eating enough complex carbs. These are more important than proteins 4) Get enough sleep.
Wow! For pecs, there's no chance at all that I could recover within 72 hours. For other muscle groups, yes, but for pecs (e.g., bench press) I need a solid 5 days (or more) for full recovery. I remeber being a little disappointed some years ago when I discovered I could no longer bench twice per week and still see good results. Anywho - good vid!!
I'm an 18 year old male and I train pretty intensely every single day and im seeing pretty great results so far. Is this unhealthy and should I maybe work out every other day? (I work out and do cartio for about 3-4 hours per day)
Steve i wish i knew that before hand, i've been on and off supplements, and i now realize that most of them are gimmicks and that the dudes on the advertisements are on steroids. I took glutamine for a few months on and off as well as a protein shake and didn't notice much of a difference. Except bad stomach aches lol. I personally like the way real food digests better.
For maximum results, do you suggest to only work out each muscle group twice a week? i've been working out for 3 months and i always do some kind of work out every day. but i always give each muscle group 48 hours of rest.
any1 know where to get a good bench for dumbells, not too expensive and that has different ermm movements for eg incline bench press, and where you can do crunches. mine isnt very good , it cant take much weight and i think its gonna snap soon when im lifting, and i dont want that to happen lol
mine snapped it was only holdin like 6 of my 40pound and 4 of my 20 pound dumbells nd i baught the rack for 200$ it looked gd but....yah..:( imk hvin same prob as u, itsb a bit ezier for me tho cuz i live in australia right near a gym nd yeah
I do the same thing. I train each muscle group once every 7 days. This is why I said 48-72 hours depending on how hard you train. The harder you train (weight, reps, exercises, sets, etc.) the more rest you will need. After getting enough food and sleep the only other factor is time. And that's hard to speed up. But if you're getting results who cares.
i do some kind of work out in my home every day..always giving my muscle groups 48 hours of rest. i've been training for 3 months now and have gained 25 lbs but the past month i haven't gained any weight..i think my diet is good for someone my size..or maybe my training just sucks..i've been increasing weight on the bar accordingly..im confused
Remember, the body responds quickly when it hasn't been trained hard or frequently. Then as the muscles get used to working out their growth will slow down. This is normal. It just means you're getting into shape. Therefore it's time to up the intensity of your workouts.
I lift 130 pound dumbbells over my head and let me tell you, after I'm done, I need a LOT longer than 48 hours to recover. Usually it's more like 6 days. Do just have a slow metabolism or is it the workload that I'm using? Is there some way to speed it up?
we always did the typical 48 hour rest in weight training and i still got these massive stretch marks on my pecs from it. If you're doing doing 48 hour rest programs its probably best to take it a little bit easier.
So does that mean working a muscle(instensely) and resting for one one week would be too long of a rest period? I do 3 execercises for each individiual muscle.
Hi Steve, Great info in your videos. Quick question, i have started to weight train again after a long long time. The next day i looked like i gained a few pounds in the stomach and i felt bloated,is this normal? Appreciate the help. Thanks.
I have worked out for about 6 months with weights. I train 6-7 days a week and I train quite hard, but I let each muscle group rest atleast 4 days. Will my body still recover even though I hardly have any rest days?
i am a female and i am pretty muscular. after having my two kids i put on some weight that i am currently trying to get off. i don't want to build anymore muscle but i do want to tone and obviously lose the fat. how should i be lifting the weights if i dont want to gain too much more muscle. also is there an exercise that naturally lifts the breasts?? thanks alot i love your videos.
Yes, those exercises could be done more frequently even every day depending on what kind of shape you're in. The more intense the exercise the more time is needed to recover.
What about simple body weight training, no lifting of weights? Just pushups, crunches, pullups, all that jaz? Since it is low weight, high reps, could you do them all every day? This seems to be a debate between myself and friends. We are going for athletically functional over muscularity (though to an extent they are hand and hand). THanks
I like your stuff. Very informative. I do smile, however, when the little YouTube ad's that pop up on your videos directly contradict what you are saying. 'Gain 20lbs of muscle in 9 weeks' being a classic example. Don't suppose you can do much about that eh!
If I do dumbbell curls with 40s/7reps and I feel a bone bending pain in my forearms when I'm finishing, should I lift less weight? I weigh 213 lbs, but I can do 30 push ups, but sometimes I get a sharp pain in the middle of my chest like someone poked me with the end of a pole, am I pushing myself too hard. I do shoulder lifts, but I get a pain in my neck sometimes, is my form wrong? I'm 17, but does it have anything to do with my age? Yeah, I ask a lot of questions, but I just want answers.
Why does everyone say something different? There's a guy called Pete Sisco, and he told me to rest my muscles for 9 days (if I trained it very intensely) before working out again.
I've been lifting weighs for 2 years now without the use of any drugs or anything alike, all by eating natural organic foods. But I still can't figure how long I need to rest or how often I need to train... I usually do it randomly but I'm not getting good results out of it... I guess I need a personal trainer...
1st-you'll notice I'm not SELLING fat burners or any othe BS pills or products. 2nd-Muscles can be trained 48-72 hours after a workout depending on how hard the muscle is trained. This means if you train hard on Monday you can train again on Thursday. 9 days is too long between workouts. I train each muscle group every 7 days but I also train each muscle for at least 45-90 minutes.
I'd like to emphasize what Steve said. He puts out these videos for FREE, the advice is FREE, the results are REAL. Pete Sisco, and all the others...sell a product. Salesman, vs a real trainer.
.. how can i grow my chest muscle .. i have big hand's ... and no chest :|.. how can i grow it faster without creatine ... protein powder or .. steroids gest naturaly :P ... greeting's from Romania :P
thank's ... but i'm growing very slow :( i busted my ass since 6 months and very poor payoffs :( !!! damn ! :( all my friend's .. oh man big hand's ..but 0 chest :))
You mean big arms, not big hands. Hands are the things that look like a bunch of bananas! Arms are the the part that connects the bananas to your body, lol. Good luck with it all though.
Depending on how hard you train your chest, shoulders and tris with weights I would probably wait a few days before I started doing push ups just to give my chest a chance to recover.
You da man steve! Got a question, Is it okay to do 200 pushups in sets of 25 everyday. And train chest, shoulders and triceps once a week with weights. Will i get more results faster or will I be overtraining?
Sounds like a bit of tendonitis. You could either stop lifting for a while or 1. Warm up slowly. 2. Warm up completely. 3. Use a wrist support 4. Use a curl bar instead of a straight bar for barbell curls. 5. Do not do hammer curls. 6. When doing dumbbell curls start with the palms facing the legs and then rotate the palm upwards while curling the weight. 7. Use lifting straps to help your grip and tape pressure off the fore arm.

Please someone help!!! i've been working out both of my arms equally but lately my left forearm has been hurting badly when ever i try to do dumbbells but my right arm doesnt hurt does any one know why?
10 pounds by the END of Dec MIGHT be possible but that's still 2.5 pounds per week which is very high. The best way is toe cut your current eating just slightly (5 less bites per meal) and start walking 30-45 minutes a day.
hey steve please reply to this comment as soon as possible!
i want to lose at least 20 or 10 pounds from now to the 20 of dec do u think is possible? what should i do an dhow much calories should i take in to lose it
no way dude, for example me and my bro are roughly between 175-180lbs. im 16 and he's 15. i can easily bench 185 and he can only lift 80. it all depends on how developed u make your muscles. im a very active wrestler while is a couch potato :P
Maybe for only leg press... since you walk around supporting your own weight. Squats no, cause your doing YOUR weight + MORE weight. Leg press...your laying back pressing weight up.
hi im wondering if 2 people are the same weight and same hight and age and not have worked out in there lives could one of them have more muscle then the other person?

@Ronnock well might be different for girly mma fighters but marvin hagler used to lock himself away from anyone and train 10 hours a day everyday
thats why marvin hagler was the greatest middle weight of all time
to be the best you must train the best
when i was 12-13 i watched rocky and for the next year i trained everyday roughly 3-4 hours a day intensly
i think if i didnt do this i wouldnt be the size i am today

@johnosandra I'm confused, what's the argument here? And secondly, I don't believe you've ever trained in MMA, mainly because of your blanket (and baseless) statement in regards to the manliness of MMA fighters. And the frequency of training doesn't equivocate to the size/mass of your body. That's just plain ludicrous and incredibly ignorant.

what happens to your muscles when you train them before the soreness goes away?
neilorourke71 1 year ago
@neilorourke71 If you do it once in a while, nothing. If you do it often this will not allow your muscles to completely recover and you will eventually begin to lose strength and size.

hey bro! love your videos! makes sense all the time! i gotta a question for you, i want to "level up" the intensity of my workouts. i've been bodybuilding for 3 years now. just want your opinion on this. i wanted to train each body part strictly once a week at a higher volume and intensity. i do a total of 15-20 sets for major muscles and 10-15 sets on minor muscles.you think it's a good idea giving it a whole week off rather than a 48 or 72 hour rest? no steroids for me. ^_^
1domster5 1 year ago
i've read that if you train your muscles each week you are undertraining is this true?
eg
Monday: chest
Tuesday: back
Wednesday: off
Thursday: legs
Friday: shoulders/biceps/triceps
Saturday: off
Sunday: off
Repeat
dsouzand 1 year ago
@dsouzand Different things work for different people, but just remember that your muscles grow while they are resting so If you work them before they have recovered your doing more harm than good. I like the look of your example, It's pretty much what I do at the moment. I used to train nearly every day and do each body part twice a week but never really saw gains so I looked at the less is more approach. Bodybuildings all about experience, You've got to try things out and see what works for you
GotToGrow 1 year ago
This is kinda a weiry topic. I think its harder than just putting a time tag on or judging by how sore you are. For example, I have been training for a while now, and now my legs don't get sore the next day at all (when I first started it was pretty bad DOMS). But I don't believe I should train legs everyday due to lack of soreness, and training them in 72 hours would not be good either because something like the squat or deadlift (most demanding back exercise imo) is very taxing on the cns.
mohammad112388 1 year ago
A few basic things to know, if you are trying to gain size: you cannot just gain lean muscle straight up. Divide your training into cycles, heavy and light. During the heavy training you lift heavy, do fewer reps and take in more calories, thus the gain of muscle and fat. During a light cycle, you include cardio, increase the amount of reps and eat fewer calories. Of course it is more complicated than just heavy vs. light, but thats the basic gest of it.

48 hrs? to repair and build muscle takes at least a week if not more, if your training the same muscle more than once a week its like picking at a wound and making it bleed again, your just simply not giving your body enough time not just to recover but to actually build muscle, i go to the gym 3 times a week but only hammer each muscle once every 2 weeks

Working a muscle one a week is for HIT dudes! It has nothing to do with steroids. Most guys on steroids train much more then that because their bodies, with the addition of steroids, repair so much faster. They can handle a larger work load on more days.

leinheart25 2 years ago
No you're fine. If you waited 4 weeks...you'd be fine. I do 1 HARD set of squats every 2 weeks. My legs have never been stonger. By training less, but HARDER, with more rest, I got much bigger and stronger. Don't try to train 100% at every workout. Build towards it over 4 weeks or so; pick up the intensity and poundages as the weeks go by. On the last week, hit it at 110% so to speak. The change direction and start another phase at the lower intensities and build it up again over 4 weeks.
brushfour 2 years ago
Hey Steve, I started doing high intensity training after reading a book based on the workouts of Mike Mentzer. I have 3 different lifting days and usually resy 3-4 days between each workout give or take a day or 2 because of work, school, ect... Anyway, say I were to do legs 1 day then didn't do them again for a week and a half or so, is this too much rest? Should I be training more often? I've heard that rest is a big part of muscle repair and growth but almost 2 weeks is a long time. Thanks

Yeah 2 weeks is a very long time, at most my legs have been soar a week, but you should be good resting 3-4 days.

eVoooo12 2 years ago
You're not sore because you're getting into shape. Your muscle have gotten bigger and they are used to the weight you're using. Time to increase the intensity by increasing the weights, sets, reps, exercises or a combination of all of these.
BodyPerformanceTV 2 years ago
Sure. Slow continuous physical labor is not quite the same as explosive, intense weight training. This activities stresses and damages the muscle and uses up valuable gylcogen. Both of these activities are really what recovery is about. Healing the muscle and replacing glycogen.

IF you are working out HARD 1) Have a carb & protein shake after working out 2) Make sure you're eating enough in general. 3) Make sure you're eating enough complex carbs. These are more important than proteins 4) Get enough sleep.

I do the same thing. I train each muscle group once every 7 days. This is why I said 48-72 hours depending on how hard you train. The harder you train (weight, reps, exercises, sets, etc.) the more rest you will need. After getting enough food and sleep the only other factor is time. And that's hard to speed up. But if you're getting results who cares.

Jda4160 3 years ago
Remember, the body responds quickly when it hasn't been trained hard or frequently. Then as the muscles get used to working out their growth will slow down. This is normal. It just means you're getting into shape. Therefore it's time to up the intensity of your workouts.
BodyPerformanceTV 3 years ago
wow, only once a week?
Jda4160 3 years ago
I lift 130 pound dumbbells over my head and let me tell you, after I'm done, I need a LOT longer than 48 hours to recover. Usually it's more like 6 days. Do just have a slow metabolism or is it the workload that I'm using? Is there some way to speed it up?

Not if you work the muscle hard, meaning enough intense workout sets (9-12) with enough weight. This does not include warm-up sets.

Why does everyone say something different? There's a guy called Pete Sisco, and he told me to rest my muscles for 9 days (if I trained it very intensely) before working out again.
I've been lifting weighs for 2 years now without the use of any drugs or anything alike, all by eating natural organic foods. But I still can't figure how long I need to rest or how often I need to train... I usually do it randomly but I'm not getting good results out of it... I guess I need a personal trainer...

1st-you'll notice I'm not SELLING fat burners or any othe BS pills or products. 2nd-Muscles can be trained 48-72 hours after a workout depending on how hard the muscle is trained. This means if you train hard on Monday you can train again on Thursday. 9 days is too long between workouts. I train each muscle group every 7 days but I also train each muscle for at least 45-90 minutes.

Sounds like a bit of tendonitis. You could either stop lifting for a while or 1. Warm up slowly. 2. Warm up completely. 3. Use a wrist support 4. Use a curl bar instead of a straight bar for barbell curls. 5. Do not do hammer curls. 6. When doing dumbbell curls start with the palms facing the legs and then rotate the palm upwards while curling the weight. 7. Use lifting straps to help your grip and tape pressure off the fore arm.
