Pull ups/press ups/dips several days in a row

Your body needs rest to repair. You build muscle during rest so it's probably better to do those exercises every other day.

 

If you have trouble gaining weight and strength then follow Amy's advice.

If you don't then you can afford to go at full throttle, say, 5 times a week.

This is not exact science.

 

If you going for lifting weights 5 days a week you have to split up your work, don´t work on the same muscles every day, your body needs to rest.
At least that is what I have been tought during the years. It has worked well for me.
Also remember that if boxing is your main sport, don´t lift to much you need to put most work on your boxing.

My body must be ****ing slow to repair. After I've been to the gym the parts I worked on can ache for up to 3 days afterwards, meaning that I skip them next time round.

 

I squatted thursday--legs hurt like ****--then deadlifted on saturday :-(

Was a bit painful, but I got through.

 

Do you warm up and do pre stretches then do post stretches to finish of?

 

c how ur own body feels. sometimes i feel it's ok to do body weight exercises everyday. but when u start to feel TOO sore. take a day off

 

Hey mik,
you should probably organise your ****, you will make better gains.
Example, do your benching, pressing, pushing on one day.
Do you pulling and whatnot another.
your leg work another.

Bodyweight calisthenics get you to a point then just become endurance builders.

You can always do 2 days strength, 2 days endurance.
Work different qualities at separate times for optimal ****.

 

I never do.

If it's a tough workout, and I'm not that busy physically that day or the next, I can get jolly sore.

 

Do I ****.

 

Why dont you just give it a try one day, maybe not even the warm up just post stretches holding each for 15 seconds just on the body part you worked... see if any improvement, i used to be the same but i was sick of walking round work the next 2 days looking like i had **** myself, now dont really get sore n if i do its very little

 

Stretching is a waste of time when you are about to do something, it actually tears muscles leaving you more uncoordinated and you will be more sore next time. Warm up by mimicking the motions you are about to do. Warming down won't help with post workout soreness though, thats a myth. Stretching is good for flexibility, do it when you wake up and go to sleep if you must do it.
