Oh yes. Not just your muscles but you central nervous system. Genetics will have the final say in this but every other day is ok as long as you are training the actual lift or muscle(s) no more than 2x per week. You could do something like upper, lower, upper, lower rotating lifts either every other training session or every other week. When progress stalls, switch routines. Dont forget to rest and eat!Health Question & Answer

Most definitely. For maximum results, burn yourself out. By that, I mean lift heavy, but not beyond your limits and fatigue your body. Then your muscles that you used will need 24 hours of good rest. It is absolutely fine (and quite common) to work out upper body every other day and in between workouts do a lower body workout. Make sure to take in plenty of carbs and protein if you are looking to build muscle. Never go too far beyond your limits, but never let anybody tell you that you can't do something. Best of luck and God bless America! Health Question & Answer
