I have a shoulder workout today, I was thinking of skipping and do some revision and rest up. I have a chest workout tomorrow and a Back workout on Saturday. I was thinking of doing chest and side deltoids tomorrow and Back and traps on Saturday.

    If you need the rest, or are injured, of course it's OK to skip the gym for a day.

    You really don't need our permission to skip the gym. If your body needs a rest then listen to your body - not random internet strangers.

    Missing one here or there won't matter. Missing a few weeks or a month is a problem.

    Well you could skip the gym today but...then you won't be there to spot Bob while he benches. Without you to spot him, Bob will drop all 315 pounds on his neck and die. This is really unfortunate because Bob's been working on an antivirus for a superbug which the government has been working tirelessly to conceal from public knowledge. Bob was just this close to a breakthrough but he's terrible at keeping notes so with him dead, there'll be no hope. The superbug will spread out of control and the zombie apocalypse will begin.
    All because you felt like staying home instead of working out.


    In all seriousness though, I'd be less concerned about missing a workout here and there (as long as it's not the norm) and more worried about the fact that you've got shoulder day scheduled the day before chest day. Give your triceps a break and either split those up or do both the same day.

    Like others have said - listen to your body and if you truly need the rest then rest. However if you're just thinking of skipping because you want to go home and watch tv, then NO, Get up and GO, you will not regret it!!! :wink:
