Rule of Going Easy

Overtraining can be a result of repetitive exercise. If you don’t vary your workouts and you’re constantly subjecting your body to the same stress over and over, those muscles can become over-trained. A good rule of thumb is to wait at least 48 hours before working the same muscle groups again. So for example, if your do a chest/triceps workout one day, you should wait at least two days before working those muscles again. Professional bodybuilders will often work a muscle group so hard in one workout, that they’ll wait an entire week before working that muscle group again.
