hi all...ive recently got back into lifting weights and i have a question about playing and being sore. as most of you probably know, after working out, your muscles need time to recover/heal in order for it to properly gain muscle that you broke down...you can't do chest on monday then tuesday and so on...it needs time for it recover and come back stronger...my question is: say i do chest tris and shoulders on monday, when should i be able to play the drums next without interefering with the recovery process of my muscles? i know that playing the drums is nothing compared to lifting heavy weight, but it is definitely a workout that gets the muscles going (more so on my dominant side hitting the hi hat or w/e a million times and same with bass drum)....by playing the drums with sore muscles, am i not giving my muscles enough time to properly heal? or does it not necessarily matter? i wuldnt want to do squats one day and then go hard on the double bass that night or the next day while they should be resting....you feel me? but at the same time i dont want my practice time to revolve around when im working out....so again if i did back and bi's tonight, would having a hard practice session on the drum kit tomorrow negatively impact my muscle recovery for my biceps especially?
