Length of time for muscle recovery?

[mkv213]

How long until a worked muscle group is fully recovered/repaired? I know it happens during rest but does that mean that a two hour nap after the gym would start the process? Is the muscle still recovering/repairing the following day so to speak?

full recovery time i think can be from 7-10 days, but u can work muscles every 4-5 days in my book

i dont know but isaw the workout plan of the big guy himself (Ronnie Coleman) and he does each bodypart 2 times a week

i worked each body part twice a week for about 2 months, and then
tried each once a week for a couple months... i got better results from twice a week, but everyone is different u need to find out what works for u...

Repair start when you eat or drink that first meal after your w/o

I'll wait until the muscle I worked is no longer sore. Usually I get legs,chest and back once week, delts and arms I'll hit twice and abs I work 3-4 times a week. It's worked well thus far.
