Strenght Training - How Often

Posts: 95
I'm really wanting to build muscle and drop some fat. Do I have to take a day off between strenght training? I've heard that but not sure if that's "old school" or still the recommendation. I'd like to do it every day, at least for the arms.

Three times a week, something like
M, W, F.
Rest T, TH, S, SUN
Check out 'starting strength'
google will help find it.0 -
It depends on the type of training your doing, push/pull; split training, full body, etc. If you're doing a 5 day split then you don't work the same muscle two days in a row. If you're doing something more like push/pull, one day you work push muscles and one day you work muscles that pull. It's important to give your muscles adequate rest inbetween workouts.0
