A lot of things I read say to only workout a muscle group once in a week or else you're just going to do damage and not going to gain mass, but at the same time say to do compound exercises. How the fuck am I supposed to do compound exercises and only hit each specific muscle once in a week? The more I learn about lifting the more confusing it gets.

>only workout a muscle group once in a week
that's wrong
Nah. General guideline is to leave one rest day between hitting the same bodypart. That means take a day off between workouts if you're doing compounds, or plan a split so one bodypart is resting on a day another part is getting hit.

So let's say I did a workout that made my chest sore as fuck. It's okay to break it down further in the same week?

Okay this makes sense. Although a most of the time I'm more sore 2 days after a workout than I am the day after
just do all body workouts 3 days a week with a day in between each one. Then throw in a couple ab days

48 hours of rest after hitting a muscle. You can hit the same muscle up to every other day, although that might be beyond a natty, realistically. Good rule of thumb though.

Ive been lifting for 4 years and my chest and triceps still gets sore after chest n tris day..... i trained them on monday and its thursday night already... i guess ive ascended so now i only have to do chest once a week
All I know is I couldn't get my legs to grow for years then i started squating 5 times a week and my quads exploded

How big are you that you have ascended to pleb level

And even then, it's better to hit the same muscle twice in a row once in a while than skip the workout.
