Question on Working out chest

DamonWofford Posts: 7 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/02/18, 11:19 PM Is it better to work out your chest one or two times a week. I am looking to get more muscle mass but still be cut.

This is assuming you are training for mass, in other words working your chest with very heavy weights for achieving overload. You can experiment with your rest time. If you feel recovered sooner, you may give it a shot, but this is not usually the case for us "clean" trainees. We need more rest time than others. Learn to feel your body. You can still stay lean(cut)with cardio and correct diet. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!
