back to back training days same muscle

[cjw429]

a buddy of mine I am working out with suggested a training routine where I work a muscle two straight days in a row. Example: if I train my chest we train chest hard on monday and then on tuesday train it again but much lighter weight and less reps. Is this a good strategy backed by science or not?

I would train same muscle group 2-3 times per week same weight until i get really strong at that weight, still doing it with split 4-3

maybe in the short run you can get away with it but long term the science doesn't agree. you need to rest your muscle for it to repair

makes more sense to work a different muscle the next day

I prefer mixing body parts daily, need to have rest for best results

Ask your buddy - let him do the work lol

Try it out and see if it helps...

Just make sure youre giving your body enough time to recover!

Not something I would do. The muscle grows when it is repairing. It needs rest and time off to repair.
