Cutler continued to discuss the important of rest during the week and suggested taking days after legs and back days.
“What I suggest is having an off day after back training and leg training, especially if you’re really trying to put on mass and if you’re trying to get a little bigger. You do need the days off though if you are training to extreme, pushing yourself, training to failure.”
Remember, you have to eat around the training, you have to sleep around the training. You have to recover but I do train on those splits. See how it works on your routine because it’s working for me.”
