Workout Schedule - Exercise & Fitness Message Board

My university gym is very crowded Monday-Thursday, to the point where theres no reason to go. Saturdays the gym closes at noon so I am still asleep usually after it closes. So this leaves only fridays and sundays.

When I work out, I like to go all out. My question is whether I should just workout on sundays. Because if I worked out on Friday's, my muscles would still be sore and would need more time and thus couldnt go on sundays. I would much rather work out on sundays though because theres alot less people there then on fridays. I realize I can work different muscles on each day but Im referring to working out the same muscles.

Thanks

As long as you work out at the same time or later on Sunday as you did on Friday, that's 48 hours of recovery which is fine. Unless I missed something?

The thing is, I am still hurting pretty bad on sunday. I go all out. I dont want to workout with sore muscles.

Try an upper and lower body split fri and sunday (or whichever 2 days you want). You can still go all out, but you'll be hitting different muscle groups each day. You'll get plenty of recovery time without wasting precious little gym time or drudging through soreness.
