    I always start my training on Sunday. Second week of a new program. Hypertrophy squats, Power Bench, and some heavy *kitten* hip thrusts. You'd be surprised how long these 3 lifts take me to finish lol.

    I'm friending you, purely for the use of hypertrophy :smiley:

    I take rest days, but apparently Hornsby doesn't. =)

    I was just joking about my reply in that some people will automatically assume that no rest days = overtraining when that's not necessarily the case.

    Depends entirely on how the program is structured.

    Ops! Quoted the wrong person!

    Rest days are needed. Fact.

    2-3 mile run for me followed by a leg day. I need a good workout after dealing with terrible customer service at Walmart.

    I don't lift everyday, but if you include cardio...nope, no rest day. Not usually anyway. Maybe one every three or 4 weeks. That being said, a moderate paced, 20-30 mile bike ride seems pretty restful to me.

    Rest days are probably a good idea for most people.

    However it's possible to structure a program in such a way that someone could train daily.

    I typically do, because I can't bring myself to do it after aside from my walk home from the gym. Which that in itself can feel like death after a hard workout haha.

    Rest day. I am arthritic so these are essential to me. That said, I may do something very light like stretching-focused yoga on a rest day if I feel the desire to do some sort of body work.
