If you were to do a chest/triceps workout for example at 3.00pm, is there any negative effect by then playing football a few hours later. I thought I'd read somewhere that there was but I can't think why this might be

Also, when they say to have a days rest between working muscle groups, does this mean any exercise or just weightlifting? For example, if you had done legs yesterday and were going to do them tomorrow, is playing football going to have a negative impact due to lack of rest or is getting the legs moving actually helping. This isn't intense football either, just 60 mins kick around with mates

Probably over thinking it but just curious

Probably didn't word the original post very well

Sunday: Legs
Monday : Chest/Triceps, football
Tuesday: Legs

So it wasn't football the same day as legs, it was inbetween. There is a reason for me doing a lot of leg work incase anyone thought twice in three days was overkill

Not noticed any issues today anyway. Flexibility is at an all time high after a couple of months of regular foam rolling and stretching which is probably helping as normally i'd be stiff as anything after playing football
