A bodybuilder's body is very sensitive and when it recognizes a lack of stress, its high condition will make it work as effective toward atrophy as it will toward muscle development. So you can risk losing some muscle if you wait longer than 3 days to work a muscle group. Now a muscle may atrophy after 72 hours but it doesnt mean it takes 72 hours for recovery. Muscle recovers much faster than it does to atrophy.

I totally agree w/Patrick. What empirical data do they have to back this up? I've read quite a bit that says the opposite, and nothing that supports this. If I worked every muscle every 3 days I would look horrible and feel even worse!
