How long does a specific muscle have to wait before you exercise it, without it breaking down. for instance if i exercises my chest once a week. will it increase or will it grow then break down because I waited to long?

I always struggled to get my biceps to respond, then tried exercising them 2 days in a row and really felt the burn as you'd say.
I also finally saw some improvement and really started feeling that mind muscle phase we all after.

Tried that for a month, exercising biceps 2 days in a row, day one would be heavy and day following light with high reps, I'm now back to twice a week and popping in the arms department, it was almost a kickstart of some sort I had to go through to get things going in the direction I wanted.

I know my arms will decrease in size if i started training them 2 days in a row at this stage.
 
Lol, I did squats on Sunday (first leg day in 3 weeks :o) god damn my legs hurt until Wednesday, with the worst being Tuesday
 
Did legs last night as well, but since I have been consistent in my training, I haven't battled with DOMS.

I train at home, and for legs I do squats, lunges and Romanian deadlifts. I also do calves 3 times a weeks on non-consecutive days. What other exercises can anyone recommend? Would love to be able to do leg presses.
 
Also work out at home and I do everything you do but I also add hack squats to my leg days.

I have finally worked my up to do 3 set of 6 reps. I do still fall over near the end though :p Helps to use your hands to hold on something while you're building the strength in the auxiliary muscles needed to balance

yeah I usually hang on to the trx cables which no one uses
 
Winter's here. Not going to gym regularly. The less one goes the more motivation slips away! Gonna drag my fat ass over there now.
 
I struggled at first when it got really cold.

Now I'm enjoying it more because I can up the intensity because there is no contribution from heat exhaustion.
 
I want to thank the dude that told me to do the planking. When I started I could barely do it for 10 seconds, now I do it up to 25 second. I also do 30 pushups where I could only do 10 andthen collaps. my core is feeling it.

Thanks bro :)
 
It may have been me that suggested it.
I should take my own advice sometimes, coz I don't do enough planking. I can manage 2 minutes, but by then everything is shaking! :D
 
Bodybuilding on a budget but this price drop got me worried. So Muscleworks whey protein at Game has dropped down to R149 for about 900kgs. It was R249 before and now i'm just suspicious about the quality and the reason for the price drop. Anybody know whats happening with this company? local guys - muscleworks.co.za -
