    New guy, need recovery advice.

    Hi all, new to the forum, and new to working out. I have been having what seems to be a long recovery time ( up to a week ) for a muscle group to feel better and ready to work again. Is there any tips for reducing this time? Is this time normal? Any advice would be great, thanks in advance...
