Muscle Repairs

Q: You know when you get up in the morning and your muscles are soar from working out the day before? If you work out everyday, and your muscles are sore from the night before because you added more weight to, should you continue to keep working out while your muscles are soar, or should you wait at least a day for them to go back to their normal state and start again when they are not soar? I just need some expert opinion because I don't want to rip or hurt a muscle.

A:  You need to give your muscles 48hrs. to recover (meaning every other day) if you give them the rest they need they will perform much better.
