Great work! I know what you mean about being able to walk right again and I do love my rest days. All I can speak from is my experience but the trainer has us do a different workout 3x a week. So for example if I did squats and deadlifts on Monday, then Wednesday would be lunges and hip extensions. But every workout we are working our glutes, core and arms. I am sure the experienced lifters could tell you what the best rotation is. And maybe it is do what works for you!  

Different or rest it till it heals n wait another day to be sure. Remember you’re not growing during the workout, the growth is the result of it and rest days is when it happens. You want to get back 100% each time 

Thanks for the advice! Hubs suggested less reps and more weight. Wanted to see what some lifters thought. I took a break and now I feel lost and back at square one again. 🤷‍♀️ 

I suggest lightweight for awhile to recondition your muscles, joints n tendons as well as mastering your form. The slowly progress with the weights 

I work out my upper body more than my lower body but if I do biceps, triceps, and shoulders one day, I'll do chest and back the next day. Then I'll do lower body workout the following day. Super is right on with what he said. I know what you mean about stopping and restarting lifting. I missed about 35 days of working out when I was sick and I started seeing loss of muscle in about 10 days. It takes so long to build it and hardly any time to lose it ..No Fair!!!😂💪💪 

Kind of like gaining weight. Comes on super fast goes off super slow. But slow and steady so you dont get an injury 

Not the most experienced in weight lifting. But I believe listening to your body will always be the best determing factor. We all know if the sore we feel is from not doing something for a while. As opposed to actually possibly being hurt from it. I like a mixture of light weight/high reps then mix in a few heavier lifts for smaller amounts of reps [heavy weight/lower reps]But ultimately your body will let you know if you're at a reasonable weight. If you start blowing through exercises and it doesn’t seem like you're even having to try very hard. That's when you'll know ok I need to up the weight or reps range.
