I'm sorry but please pass what you're smoking. If you believe the muscles grow when you're lifting and not when you're healing, you need to go back and read basic physiological information. This isn't even close tbo being accurate.

A long time ago I would work out everyday and I actually got better results when I only worked out certain muscle groups once a week instead of 2-3 times a week. However, if you work out everyday, you will carry a bigger "pump" and feel bigger, but you will get stronger much more slowly.
