Why did Mike Mentzer advise people to train so infrequently on a split routine? Isn’t it true that if one trains different body parts each workout they can train more frequently since the non work body part is afforded rest on the day they are working other body parts? This is a very common belief, but it simply is not true. You are failing to Recognize, Dave, that exercise, in addition to having a localized effect on the given muscle being worked, also has a systemic effect. That is It affects the rest of the physical system, localized muscle. Recovery actually is completed fairly quickly. With systemic recovery Taking up to four days or longer in some cases.
Haven’t you had a heavy leg Workout say on a Friday. Then tested all Weekend thinking you’d be fully recovered. But instead you woke up on Monday still generally fatigued.
