More than once a week and you run the risk over over training. You need the rest to let the muscles grow. Train hard - Mike -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.

I was also on NO2 which I have found to be awesome, it cuts the healing process of your muscles in half and uploads nutrients/protiens to the muscle on the spot. My chest work out consisted of 12 exercises. fly, bench, incline, dumbell incline, dumbell press, cable fly, decline, decline dumbell, etc. 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps. I just changed up my work out for the next 6 weeks to focus more on strength so i'll go more weight 4 sets 5-8 reps.
