Compensating training days

[Rchetton]

Usually I train every other day, but there are times when circumstances don't allow me to follow this schedule. I really feel like I have lost the chance to get better. Could I sort of compensate for the lost day by training the next days in a row?

That might work, but make sure not to be missing your rest, because it is crucial to have enough rest. This will help prevent side effects, and it will contribute to muscle growth.

well that is why split routines are a good idea. you can workout back to back days working other muscle groups

My work pattern currently follows 4 week rota. So yes I train 3 days in a row or every other day another week.

Life happens. If I can't make a scheduled workout, I just make up the missed workout on my next scheduled rest day.

Don't over think things man.

There are no set rules on how often or when you should train. I think most people are actually more guilty of not taking the extra day off when they need it vs missing a day here and there. In the end, just train when you can.

You are right guys - I am thinking too much. Will relax, and train whenever possible.
