Are rest days a meme?
No, recovery is just as important
>>37839219
No, you fucking retard. Do some light cardio or mobility/flexibility work.
>>37839219
Imo recovery is actually more important contrary to what>>37839256
since you down actually get strong and muscular through lifting weights, but by lifting weights and recovering and its during recovery that you grow.
>>37839219
When you lift you break the muscle down.
When you rest the muscle builds itself back up. That's why you rest.

OP Rest days are not a meme.
>>37839286
But I'm not doing a full body workout every day. Can't I do chest/Tris day 1, bicep/back day 2, legs day 3, then request without rest? The muscles are resting on the days I don't work them aren't they?
Moot point for me because my schedule forces me to take 1-2 rest days a week but still curious
>>37839273
What.
>>37839219
Yes
They should be called cardio days
>>37839319
You'll burn out once you stop lifting pussy weight. PPL, in my opinion, is the best template.
>>37839357
Does that mean rest days are not needed for beginners?
>>37839219
Will cardio the day after lifting fuck up my gains?
I do 1 hour and 40 mins cycling at 25km/h.
I don't really care about building muscle for now as I'm trying to lower my BF% so I haven't really looked into it

Cardio killing gains is a massive meme started by lazy cunts
>>37839511
nice, thanks senpai.
>>37839488
Cardio will never fuck up your gains period. thats a meme. You do have o compensate by eating more if you are trying to build muscle but if your trying to lose fat you really cant go wrong with cardio
>>37839319
Your CNS, joints, ligaments and mind need rest too, your body is more than just your muscles.
>>37839488
If you eat more to make up for the cardio, you'll be fine.

>Not doing cardio everyday.
>>37839219
No. It is the rest that gains muscle.
>>37839488
No. Cardio will improve your gains by increasing efficency of the blood being pumped increasing bloodflow to you muscles. More bloodflow = more nutrients to heal the muscle = better gains. Just don't overdo it.
