What's the proper number of days to have off between workouts with weights for the upper body (shoulders, chest, bi's, tri's, forearms, lats, traps)?
Then what is the proper number of days off between workouts for ab-work.
I'm trying to cut bodyfat while also increasing muscle. When starting back up months ago I was only lifting every third day while doing cardio about 5 or 6 days a week and was getting good initial results. I tried taking it to the next level, lifting monday, wednesday, friday with cardio about 4 or 5 days a week and abs about 6 days a week. This seemed to be effective too but it seems like the bi's have peeked and my bodyfat seems to be going back up plus the tendonitis in my elbows is back to making the popping noises (which is why i stopped lifting weights a few years ago as they got very noisey and painful). So far they are not yet painful but are once again gettin that scarey sounding noise as if tearing.
Anyone got a good tricept exercise that works them hard without so much strain on the tendons in the elbows like with tricept extensions or heavy bench pressing?
