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 with this guy! High intensity training recovery have been studied an for larger muscle group can take up to 7 days to recover.
Old studies from where this belief of atrophy after 3 days, train a body part twice a week has been proved completly wrong in case of heavy weight training
