LOL Okay, seriously, here's the short version . . . your muscles are made up of tiny threads and as you're lifting weights, those threads and fibers are RIPPING!!! Then, you go home and rest . . . your muscles start to heal back and they're like . . . "hey guys, we need to be STRONGER, bigger!" That's why they GROW!!! And that's the layman's way of looking at it - that's why you NEED to rest your worked muscles. They're recovering - I only work my legs once a week, if that tells you anything. . . . okay, lecture over.
I know all this. I already acknowledged what I did was wrong. I know you are trying to help, but your post could be interpreted as a bit rude.
