Like yesterday I did tris and chest, but today is a day off. Should I do like push ups and situps or anything while at home or days off or even on?
Should I workout at home to?

You have no idea how to train. None. You need to read how to train, eat, and use gear before you ask anymore questions. It wouldn't be so bad if you only asked a couple of questions like this, but you start like 3 threads a day on the dumbest questions ever.
You just tore your muscles apart the day before. Why would you want to annihilate the fibers your body is trying to build? That is reeeeeeetarded.

HDrider you have 210 posts there is no way that you can have posted this amount of posts with all types of questions and comments like these. You would have learned by now especially getting flamed this much. You must be on here joking with us

days off r just as important as days on. ur muscle needs to rebuild. this is all common sense im not as mean as some of these have been to u but it does seem ur saying things just to talk like u need a friend or something.why not before u ask a question u research it urself theres ample info in this forum n on the world wide web for that matter the questions u r asking r those of someone who has never trained before. if u need a friend they have places u can go for that too. these resources here r to b used to help someone so they dont hurt themself n grow n achieve the results thaT R DESIRED.please ur questions r really getting annoying as there answers should b already known.
i know i frequently say the only stupid question is the one not asked but ur pushing the limit.

Ok. Here is a question. Even though I don't feel sore sometimes the next day or two, that don't mean you didn't workout good right?

That is a better question.
It depends. We would have to see your technique, your routine, your intensity.. that sort of thing. I always feel sore when I leave the gym. However, some muscle groups feel more sore for me than others. Sometimes I will feel more sore than usual. My chest, for example, never gets a deep aching sore like my quads do from squatting. I have sufficient growth in my chest, though.
Basically, if you worked out the day before, you need to rest at least 48-72 hours depending on what muscle group you worked. Abs can be done every other day, but deadlifts put a lot of strain on your lower back, and should probably only be done once a week. I only do them every other back workout, and I have a solid pull.
I will have an off day from time to time, and lets say I come home from chest/tris, and my tris don't hurt. Does that mean I should go the next day and work my tris? Fuck no. They're still healing, I've ripped my muscle, regardless of if it hurts or not.
Take what you will from the above, it's a little all over the place, but is my answer to your question.

Ok ya see there were days where I did chest and tri's and the next day I was sore on the chest but not the tri's. Does this mean I didn't work them out good enough same with other muscles to if I don't feel sore?
Also I thought you could do abs everyday?

no just eat!
While I'll admit that after 11 years of lifting I don't know it all; not by far, after reading this and reading the replies I have to question what you know. This is basics 1.0.1.
You just said you worked your chest and tris the days before; your push muscles. The following day you are wondering if you should do push ups?
We all know the younger we are the more energy we have and the faster we recover however rest is the most important thing after the lifting; perhaps more important. You will end up over training and actually will be doing more to hinder growth then to aid it. At 40 years old I know I can't lift like I was 29 or even 35. What I however do know is that you have to set a template of how to lift properly in order for you to lift for a life time. Habits you do earlier will be harder to break when you are older when it will mean more. Lift smart from the beginning can carrying you into your older age with little to no complications and can extend your life. You start lifting incorrectly the next thing you know as you get older your tendons and muscles and body won't be able to handle it and will start paying you back for the abuse.
Lift smart ... lift for life.
