what exactly do you mean by rip

if you are just talking about doms then it doesnt really matter

if you are talking about a major tear (bruising, serious pain) then you sure as hell better rest

either way rest is best

If you truley have torn muscles you should let them heal completely. If you dont they will get worse.

If you "ripped them" you should go to a doc too bro. That means you tore you muscle fibers man...thats a big deal.

Are you talking about the feeling of working a muscle hardcore that you havnt worked out in awhile?

ok say i did chest on sunday, i fully worked it out, to where they were dead, monday they hurt a lot, like usual, and feels good to stretch them, and today they still hurt to push em or stretch

i was wondering if i should let them heal completely then light more weight etc, or if its ok to just hop back on it and light with the same rebuilding muscles

what i have been doing is workin them hard them and letting them fully heal, been doing like chest, arms, back, shoulders, legs 1 time a week, and letting them die out and fully heal then keep doing that

i have been doing this for a month or so, but i was just curious if it would be bad to work it out again before it has time to fully heal

i have not ripped or injured any muscle, but work them out hard

Give yourself time to heal. If you over work them right when you first start you're just going to hurt yourself. After time you will know the difference between good soreness, and actually hurting yourself.

Well after every workout I do, Im always sore the next day. Usually the day after Im fine.

If I negelect a muscle for more than a week, and then work it with the same intensity, the soreness tends to stick around for a few days.

I usually just work it out regardless with less intensity. Surprisingly, the soreness usually goes away once you start working it again. Atleast for me it does.

ok ok, to clear it up, i did not just start lifting, i have been doing so for the last 3 years, but picked it back up to start going again.. its the good burn feeling, the good workout feeling, you liftedhard and good and u worked the muscles hard,

now they need their time to rest and heal,

NOW during that resting period, is it a bad idea to work them out hard again while they are in the recovering process?

kinda just a simple question

let me guess: rushing shit for spring break?

you should give your body enough time for rest, or you might start getting weaker from overtraining

not even, i just like to lift, but i have never lifted or thought about lifting while a muscle group is rebuilding

and i would have zero results by spring break.. lol if anything some noticeable by summer

You grow outside of the gym, not in it.

Working out is tearing muscle so it regrows bigger and stronger. Give em' some rest (especially if you're possibly hurt)
