Am I resting enough??

[barrysanders]

How about not worrying about resting and listening to your body. If your sore do not work out that specific body part. I'm down with working out muscle groups more than once a week; I actually prefer it and IT WORKS.

Just make sure that your getting good pumps. By the end of your workout you should be about to explode out of your skin. IF NOT, something is not right and you need to redo your set or change it up.

Hope this helps

No dis, but a sub 12 minute mile is a joke... unless you are on The Biggest Loser... sub-7 and keep it up for 2 miles and lets talk.

Re-read my post. I'm not a runner and it was a mile and a HALF run in under 12 minutes. The first MILE was sub 8 minutes and I could have pushed harder.
Reading comprehension not your strong suit Matt?

Fuck you dude I have a bruised kidney. I cant hardly squat without weight right now.

So sick of people being a badass online. If you can work through the pain, good for you. But I can barely wipe my own ass right now.
I'm lucky if I can struggle through leg presses.

What leg/lower body exercises can you do without kidney pain? A bruised kidney is no joke.

Sorry I think I interpreted that wrong. I am doing leg presses and curls, extensions, anything I can.

Thanks everyone. I chnanhed up things a bit.
Day 1: chest / triceps
Day 2: back / biceps
Day 3: legs / shoulders
Day 4: rest, cardio because I play soccer
Day 5: chest / triceps
Day 6: back / biceps
Day 7: legs / shoulders

Should I add nananother rest day?

Sorry for spelling... On my phone

What day do you play soccer? Games/practice?

This is way overkill if your goal is to put on mass. Do leg day, chest/tri day, back/bi day, and shoulder day. Period. Four days a week with three days rest. This routine looks horrible to me for mass gain.

Agreed, gotta let your muscles repair or you're just wasting time moving iron.

My bad homie... you are correct sir, you did say 1 and 1/2 miles. 8 min. mile is ok... sub 7 min is still the minimum standard for athlete. @ 200lb's... you can brag when you can run under 6:30.

No worries.

Where are you coming by those statistics?

Okay. Stick with that for the short term and train them like the rest of your body: # of sets, reps, etc. (Assuming no pain)
When do they expect you to be back 100%?

Well... I suppose if I had gone to the doctor, he could probably tell me. Im healing slowly, so I've been thinking that it's going to be fine. I'm just worried about going to the doc and having to tell them about my cycle.

I worked my back today with very very little pain, and seem to be fine until I hit leg day. I'll just take it easy on legs for a bit, and kill them in a week or two when I can.

Would some more high intensity cardio on lift days be good, or would I just be hindering my bulk?
