Rest/OFF Days - schedule or not?

Hi dudes!

Topic about Rest/Off days from gym. How does it look in your's routines? Are you taking rest day becouse this is in your plan even when you feel very well and can go to the gym or are You basing on your fettle and do it by instinct?

My split routine is:

Legs
Arms
Chest
Back
Shoulders

I'm taking day OFF only when i fell tired, sleepy etc. Sometimes i can train 21 days in a row, sometimes only 2 days. And... i dlon't like rest, i fking love train and i'm feelling better when i have train day than rest day.

What about Your's exeperiences with Rest/OFF days?

wednesdays and weekends (sat & Sun) off, was my best split ever! Its the 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off split! works great for me!

Take days off as needed, but most likely you don't need them. That's my opinion. I think you can condition yourself to train almost everyday, but that is HIGHLY debated amongst almost everyone so you have to figure out what works for you.

mon/wens/fri always in the gym sunday always off...the rest as and when i feel like it or have the time..or need to get more cardio in..

this was always my best split and if i missed a day i could make it up on saturday

i agree with fstr03vtcobra figuring out what works best for you and if your in your mid twenties hit that shit hard every day lol because the older i get i realize i need the rest

Yea, im 23 years old without job, kids etc. so i have a lot of time and i try and love do it what i say in first post. Sometimes i'm overthinking that it can be too much... but i fking love training days, i feel very well when i have ON day

A lot of different ways i see...

1.

Chest
Back
Shoulders
Arms
Legs
Repeat

2.

Chest + Bic
Back
Shoulders + Tric
OFF
Legs
Repeat
OFF

In 1st option body part every 5 day but without scheduled OFF day and in 2nd option body part every 5 day but with two scheduled OFF days.

I'm more enjoying from 1st option but effectiveness > all so... hard to choose which one
