I agree. Part of my reasoning in my work out is to give me three full days before going back at a muscle group. But at my age, 45, I'm not going to be building much anymore. Push as hard as I want, take a week off- doesn't matter I don't see gains like I did even 10 years ago. At this point I'm basically in maintenance mode, IMHO.
