Further, if you want mass, crush those legs. The natural hormones that will be released, while your body is repairing and seeking homeostasis, will increase gains throughout your entire body.
Lastly, rest is crucial. In fact, it is just as crucial as protein intake. Allow, AT LEAST, 3 days before re-training any muscle group. If not on gear, this number of days could even be doubled. If there is any soreness in a muscle, whatsoever, it is too early to directly hit that muscle again. Even abs need sufficient rest. They will heal more quickly than the average muscle, though, as will calves. That is just physiological. Okey dokes, I'm out.
