Muscle Recovery. You must know

Letting muscles rest is the most important part of exercising. Overall, for most exercises, resting 48 hours should be sufficient, but always consult your instructor and pay attention to your body signals.

Excessive recovery, however, may impact directly on your performance. According to American Fitness Professionals and Associates, after 96 hours changes associated with muscle atrophy begin. Although a split session targets each area twice per week, more time and higher intensities can be used.

Other factor on muscle recovery related to nutrition: fluid and electrolyte status (hydration), muscle glycogen, reducing muscle stress and rebuilding muscle protein. 

Taking in fluids and carbohydrates both during and immediately after a workout, says Fitzgerald, is vital to a speedy recovery. You should eat a high-protein meal as soon after exercising as possible in order to ensure a rapid rebuilding of muscle tissue.

Take also in mind these facts: 

• Larger Muscles Require More Recovery Time
• Larger Numbers of Muscles Requires More Recovery Time
• More Training Requires More Recovery Time
