Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[The ADD]

How long should one rest after lifting weights? Like do you lift weights everyday, or do you lift weights one day, and rest the next? Does lifting everyday stunt muscle growth, do you need rest for the muscles to grow?

Depends on how you want to program:

Some people work individual body parts over the course of the week for 6-7 days. Some do full body routines 3-4 times. Some people divide into Upper Body and Lower Body session twice per week for both halves.

You do want to give muscles a chance to repair but I think that's more centered around sleep than anything else.

Personally I don't believe in good sugar vs bad.

That said, I don't see the benefit of dried fruit as a diet staple. Compared to fresh fruit.

My friend had some in her fridge....tried some last night. Was good but I'm a sparkling water fan in general so I might be biased.

I haven't soda in years so I don't need the replacement. It's harder for me to drink water as it gets cooler so this helps.

I'm taking credit for this

Now you just need to hop on that "sugar is not bad for you in the context of a calorie controlled diet" wave and my mission here is done
