Answer 1

depending on the intensity and what part you worked out after a hard session of legs I tend to take the next day off or a hard day of chest I will take a day of and come back the day after it all depends on your body and recovery rate etc.

Answer 2

2 days should be ok but if you want do push ups or lift your bed or something heavy

Answer 3

The number of days that you rest between workouts can also affect your results. The standard advice is to rest two days between workouts. This makes sense if you push hard, since the muscles need time to recover and grow. In fact, it can take up to five days for muscles to fully recover from a tough workout, and if you push too hard, you might experience symptoms of overtraining (fatigue, loss of strength, inability to lift 100%, chronic soreness, and persistent injuries)
