I have A cup man boobs and am trying to get rid of them, but the info I have on weight lifting says you should just workout your chest once a week.
It depends………..
Where are you now in your training? If you’re just starting out, you’ve got to change some things still. You’ll need to adjust your diet to accommodate weight loss/muscle gain and the additional energy needed to a good solid workout.
The bottom line is muscle fatigue. Your muscles when you work out become stressed and rip, because your body lifted something heavy and of challenge. When the rips in your muscles heal, it creates new muscle tissue, which thus creates a larger muscle mass. The healing and downtime in lifting is just as important as the lifting itself. So make sure to not over due it!! Having that said you should be able to work up to doing chest and bicep lifts every other day at most.
For example, Lift chest and upper body on day 1. Do legs and more cardio day 2. Do chest and upper body on day 3. etc….. (you’ll get better results too if you change up what lifts you do, don’t always do the same lifts day after day!)
Hope this helps!!
