I currently have little to no time for gym (this is coming from someone who would obsessively go there 6 times a week so I'm not some lardass who makes excuses). Sometimes I go to gym at 8pm after I'm done with 10 hours of university so I have a question about Mentzer's routine. I have performed 2 sets max yesterday with short rests, high intensity and I managed to finish in 35 minutes. Today I have felt every single bodypart I've worked on and I'm honestly satisfied.
Is it fine to go work on legs the very next day and either leave the next 2 days of routine for the next weekend or is it best if I split it so that I work every 4 days? As I said I have almost no time except for weekends and Mentzer's ideal routine focuses on resting the right amount of time and he basically advocates resting instead of working out 2 consecutive days for example.

Mentzer was really adamant against training on consecutive days, his latest ideal routine (the last one he created before he died) was literally a full body workout once a week.

Mentzer’s argument against training two days in a row, even if you’re doing a split, was that although the muscles you trained on the previous day might have recovered, your central nervous system is still too fatigued to train effectively (with high intensity).

TLDR: No don’t train on consecutive days

Thanks a lot, that's all I needed
