Do any of you attend a gym and also use home weights? I'm thinking about buying a set of slightly lighter ones for the days in between 5x5 (just because I'm new to lifting - 1mth - and am super keen!) but I don't know if it would be a bad idea to do weights every day.

    I think if you switch up which area you are working weights might be okay everyday, but if you are working to fatigue your muscles should be sore the next day and need rest to recover. I workout every other day, but I'm 50 so....

    Give each muscle group 48 - 72 hours rest in between strength training sessions and you'll be fine.
