any muscle group you can work every day?

im an exercise addict and i really dont care.

ive been thinking and studying long and hard, and im looking for a body part i can train some days with weights, but definetly every day with just bodyweight. i am also concious of overtraining.

ive been considering- the forearms, the calves, the abodminals-

i know the abs can go all day every day, the calves i beleive i have experienced some signs of overtraning with just bodyweight every day, and the foreamrs i havent really tried.

INTELLIGENT INSIGHTFUL EDUCATED people have any input?

    Your abs.

    I wouldn't recommend using weights while doing your ab exercises as this could lead to added bulk instead.

    Try hitting different parts of abs each day. Day one do only exercises that target your upper abs, obliques the next day, lower abs the third day, and so on...

    Of course, any exercise program will not succeed if you don't include a proper diet and a cardio program.

    Good luck!

    if you are training for hypertrophy no muscle can be trained daily at a high level of intensity. you need to alternate days of high and medium and low levels of intensity for optimum results if you want to training with weights every day.

    here's an example:

    Week 1

    Mon: High

    Squat: 3 x 10 @ 200 lbs

    Wed: Low

    Squat: 3 x 15-20 @ 100 lbs

    Fri: Med

    Squat: 3 x 6-8 @ 150 lbs

    Week 2

    Mon: High

    Squat: 3 x 10 @ 210 lbs

    Wed: Low

    Squat: 3 x 15-20 @ 125 lbs

    Fri: Med

    Squat: 3 x 6-8 @ 165 lbs

    calves and abs can be worked everyday. Core muscles like abs

    are worked constantly, just as calves (walking) . Be careful of forearms, they tend to get really tight in all workouts b/c almost every upper body exercise involves forearms.

    You are correct, Mr. P.

    You can work the abs daily since they have a 24 hour recovery time.

    The remainder of the body has a 48 hour recovery period.
