How many rest days do I need between training the same muscle?

Around 48 hours is a good rule for hard training. Many people train each muscle two or three times a week, spacing sessions across the days, for example full-body workouts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

If a muscle is still very sore or weaker than usual, give it another day. Light activity such as walking is fine in between.
