Rest between leg workouts

Hello boys and girls

How many rest days are you allowing between your leg days for optimal recovery?

Hey brother, I normally take 48 hours rest between leg days. This allows me to hit them 2 times a week.

If you're going all out with heavy squats and deadlifts take a solid 3 days off. Example, smash legs on Monday, then again on Thursday. Your muscles will thank you!

Depends on volume/intensity. I only have one low volume leg day a week as my upper body gotta come up.

A week if doing heavy Squats( only when feeling strong & flexible-Not possible every week)
3 days for lighter mobility/ balance sessions- (machines/ single leg squats deadlifts )

Optimal recovery takes much longer - Athletes taper or active recovery ( lighter lower volume workouts) for a couple of weeks. This allows for maximum performance rather than consistent growth ( which often includes Oedema, water & blood)
