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.

Thanks

@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.

Your videos are great Steve - brief and to-the-point, and so you have so many of them!

[BodyPerformanceTV]

@8bobthebuilder Thanks! I also have a BlogTalkRadio com show. You can listen there or on iTunes. Search Steve Turano. Recent shows can also be heard on my site home page at the bottom once they upload. You can also listen to archived shows of my Tampa radio show at GreatFatLossPill com.

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.

Steve hasn't posted on here in a LONG while so for the noobs here's a GREAT routine for mass: MONDAY Bench Press 3x8-12 Military Press 3x8-12 Dips (bodyweight) 3xfailure WEDNESDAY Squat 3x10-20 Stiff-leg Deadlift 3x10-15 Calf Raises 3x20-30 FRIDAY Barbell Rows 3x8-15 Chin-ups & Pull-ups alternate each set (bodyweight) 4xfailure Barbell Curls 3x8-12 3 minutes rest between each set, rest ALL other days. An add-on is doing Dumbbell Lateral Raises 3x8-12 on Wednesday at end of workout. Period!!

@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

@afarius No, even Mike Mentzer would say you are doing the right thing.

[14brad]

Spot on man, good advice.

[StanleyKu]

I have found that I make my best workout to workout gains if I train before the soreness totally subsides.

[afarius]

Damn...i rest a whole week before i train the the same muscle again..am i resting too much?

[3dhelarn]

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.

[paaaatrika]

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).
