Our fitness coach got some training manuals from NfL sides and it was noticeable that they would work upper body on Monday/Wednesday/Friday and lower body on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday..
That's right. I think I mentioned above that if you continue to strain muscles day after day, you can eventually severly damage them, and your strength will be gone. Then you'll have to let them recover for a while, and by that time, your muscle mass will have dropped, and it's like you will have to start all over again.
