don't just based on a number timeline. u know the muscle is ready to be torn up again when its no longer sore. if u want a timeline, common sense, just take a look at muscle size. for me legs are sore for about 5days and wen they are no longer sore, tear em up again. with reguards to abs (a small target muscle) abs usually will heal in 2-3days, giving abs a workout possibly twice a week. besides, 5 hours i dont think is enough time for anything to heal. 1 more thing, u can reduce your recovery time with a good diet and supplementation. use the search function

I agree the key to working out is to find out what works for you. you can read and read talk to your friends but no one knows your body but you.

Some of my friends work every muscle twice week but i like a four day split 2on 1 off 2 on 2 off.

no one can say what is the best, but i would say working out and rest are equal in importance so dont do like i did when i started and think working out 10 days in a row is going to make u grow like a arnold jr.

gd luck

Thanks very much for the advice , Its only because Im working alternate body parts that im looking to increse on harder than the rest of my body. Im still doing a full body workout for warming up and streching . at the Moment Im working my biceps and triceps Hard and giving them 2 days to recover. Im not feeling any pain of soreness , So just wanted to know any opinions . I have a good diet and take suppliments of Vitamins and protein shakes.

I did use the search function and had a read but I didnt wanna drag up any old dusty posts.

Thanks for the advice
