yes, definetly need low reps/heavy weights to add bulk. if you want to improve strength (without bulking up) you can work toward setting higher targets/reps and so on. but for a guy or woman who just wants to stay toned to help their metabolism, for example to maintain a good weight...20 push ups/day (good form...engaging core and legs) for the rest of their life would be adequate. that would keep someone toned but not have any effect on their strength or muscle mass.

@jimaldo64 I see your point now.but mind you,that this issue"keeping it toned"vs "bulking up"is a misconception.If by keeping the muscles toned you mean high reps,light weights and by trying to bulk up you mean low reps,heavy weights.all i have to say is that anyone (not an athlete)who focus on only one of them is doing it wrong.So any healthy training for normal people like you and me has to involve eventually "bulk up" routines with challenging weights and therefore some weekly rest

@marcos20alves

no, it is that simple. if you want to target specific groups of muscles you can easily do day1: shoulders. day2: legs. day3: shoulders. day4: legs and repeat this pattern forever if you want.

if you're exercising just to keep toned, there's absolutely NOTHING to stop you from exercising every muscle group, every day. technically, the only time your muscle groups absolutely NEED to rest is if you're trying to bulk up, then the muscles need rest time to repair and grow.

@jimaldo64 its not that simple, eventually u have to have one or two days off, to avoid injures in ur joints, wrists ,etc. (dont focus only on muscles) .Besides the workout u just pointed is mostly for beginners and people wanting to lose fat. normal folks would want specialized routines like shoulders, biceps, triceps, abs,even split the pulling and leg session in two. all depends on how hard u train.

[jimaldo64]

@marcos20alves

you can workout every day...

day1: legs

day2: upper body pushing exercises

day3: upper body pulling exercise etc.

the key is to give your muscle groups a rest

i didnt like the analogy of the teeth brushing, cuz sometimes u have to take a time off the weights to allow ur muscles recover and so on, plus over-training can lead u to injuries etc
