I used to do pretty much what everyone else is doing here (except imp) until I read about the toll your nervous system takes aswell as your muscles after working out. When I work out I work REALLY hard and I would give my muscles ample time to recover but I would usually lack energy and motivation as the week progressed. I found that even though my muscles are recovering, my nervous sytem was not able to fully recover. I then changed my workout so that I work my WHOLE body in one session and then take the next day off completely. I found that I was not continually drawing from my nervous system and I was able to recover really well. It has to be said, just like everyone else has done, that you should read and try as much as you can and then do what works for your own body because only you really knows how your body is reacting. Rest is key and is muchly overated.
