Long enough for muscle recovery?

[Cardinal234]

Becacuse of my schedule, it's more convenient for me to work out in the later afternoon on some days and the morning on other days.

I'm wondering whether working out my chest/triceps on one day at 4pm, then doing back/biceps the next morning at 10am will be enough time for my muscles to recover. I know it's not the same exact muscle groups, but i should still leave enough time to recover right.....

Whats the point of recovering since you're not involving the same muscle groups in your next workout. You could workout chest/tric in the morning and then do back/biceps in the evening. Only problem would be not having enough energy for the next workout.

your worried about 2 upperbody muscle groups not having enough time to recover before you do 2 different upperbody groups???? You really want have anything to worry about with this, since they are different muscles, but if you still question it, why not work legs out after chest/tris??

id be concerned with the energy issue. just try it, the worst that can happen is you wont be as strong.

Full recovery from a single resistence workout can take well beyond 4 weeks. Everyone on any type of program is constantly training in a recovery deficit of one kind or another. Management of this deficit (controlled high and low period) is what forces and allows adaptation. I wouldn't be worried providing the overall program is in line and reasonable. Olympic lifters end up hitting their legs just about every day some even multiple times per day when performing the classic lifts or squatting. Overtraining is more of a systemic thing than a muscle group thing. When you are falling asleep upright and consistently can't concentrate in the gym - that's when you've been bit.
