You need rest.

How much depends on a bunch of factors.

I've been lifting for 4 years.

Recently I did full-body training every single day and I literally lost size, looked flat as fuck all the time. Now I'm back to 4 days a week and the size is returning and im walking around full again.

Never again trying every-day, fuck that.

YOU DON'T GROW WHEN YOU'RE WORKING OUT YOU GROW WHEN YOU'RE RESTING YOU COLOSSAL FUCKING RETARD

Building muscle means damaging muscles and letting them repair. If you don't rest, they can't repair, you can't build muscle.

5 on, two off. 6 on 1 off if you're a pro bodybuilder.

I don't like resting tbqh. I do PPLPPxx, if I'm home on Saturday I'm banging out The Presses, Sunday I'm dedicating a day to pull ups or chins. Also core and forearms everyday.

Just keep taking caffeine pills and protein shakes whenever you get sleepy

I realize this may be an EXTREME example, but it does illustrate a point. In RANGER school you spent over 60 days doing strenuous HOOAH shit. You are sleep and food DEPRIVED. Despite doing PUSHUPS and all kinds of shit at all hours you will become a weak, demotivated DYEL soldier. By graduation I had lost 30lbs. Going into selection my 1RM for bench was 335 and after I pinned my tab I couldnt do 225. REST DAYS ARE NEEDED

Oh okay, so rest days are important. But how about I workout twice a day. One on the morning, one in the evening. Is it bad?

Ofc full body everyday will fuck you up how dumb are you

>>37403982
pointless unless you're on gear

i work out 6 times a week currently because i'm cutting and really fucking hate cardio, but i've definitely lost strength. as a natty there's no point in lifting more than 4 days a week if you're trying to build mass and strength.

Unless you're on serious roids, take rest days.

Read the fucking sticky. It was made so useless pricks like you wouldn't start these asinine threads. You couldn't ask a more obtuse question if you really put your balls into it

If I just walk for 60 mins in my rest says it's ok right? Basically l lift every other day, and if I am not lifting I just walk for 60 mins and listen to music

yeah cardio is fine on rest days

While I mostly stick to martial arts and only lift 3 times a week, I've been training almost every day since 2012. If you learn to periodize, properly regulate intensity, and be smart about exercise selection, you can get away with training a lot more than people generally think possible.

Nobody really knows.

Overtraining is definitely a thing, and as others mentioned, you should not do e.g. a fullbody workout each day.

But OTOH, there are many more complex processes going on in your body, and working out e.g. suppresses myostatin, which will make growing muscle easier in the long term.

So it's hard to say what the best thing to do is. Doing some light cardio on your off-days is probably not a bad idea.
