With traditional weight lifting, you need to give the muscles two days to recover because every time you lift you actually damage the muscles and they need to recover .... that's how muscle is built.

With more moderate strength training, it's not necessary to rest for 48 hours. I teach pilates, and you can work out two days in a row even though those muscles were just worked out the day before.

Many people who do traditional weight lifting break it up by body part. I used to work out upper body one day, lower the next, then a day off, then upper body, etc. I used to work out four days per week with that system.

Two days to recover is not nearly enough unles you are doing more volume training and just going for size, water retention, etc. If you want more functional muscle, longer lasting muscle, I would rest a good 6-7 days between workouts of the same body parts.

Example, if I do deadlifts and stiff legged deads on Monday, I might need to wait till the following Monday to do a full back workout, or sometimes I can get it in by Friday.

There certainly are different opinions out there. I guess it all depends on your goals and other variables.

Well now I am on a two day a week power lifting program so I am sure this would not be approved by Dr. B.
