Training muscle more often will not hurt you, in fact I have had some of my best results training more frequently then "3 times every 2 weeks" Studies have shown protein biosynthesis drops to about 0 approx 48 hours (or less) following the workout. Muscle development cannot occur without protein synthesis (it is muscle development). Commonly you see pro bodybuilder and the such claiming to only exercise muscle groups once per week... which is fine, when you are on anabolics you are in a constant state of protein synthesis. see: http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/273/1/E99 http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/273/1/E99 http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/284/1/E76 http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/284/1/E76 On a side note, NSAI drugs like Tylenol, asprin, naprox... Will all impede protein synthesis as well, making it almost impossible. I agree, most gym staff doesn't know what they are talking about... In fact when it comes to exercise very few people seem to have a clue. Most people simply believe the same junk put in magazines and websites with no scientific basis.
