What is your training goal? Why would you wanna spend every day in the gym?

read the 5x5 manual I posted here as it is very relevant to your needs.

Do Bill Starr's 5x5 or Mark Ripptoe's Starting Strength: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...rting+strength

Forget the bodybuilding

working out every day is a great way to burn out and overtrain....

Everyone is different. I've been working out and training heavy five days a week for sixteen years and I have yet to burn out. You've got to do what's right for you.

Well that could mean 2 things. Either that you're in fact correct or you succeeded in spite of working out so often and could have seen better results doing something else. Also 5 days a week is not quite the same as 7 days a week....Those 2 days of rest are huge.....

he's also not very clear in his question....in his title he says 'working out every day' and in his post he says '5 days a week' .....working out everyday and working out 5 days a week are very different things...

if your 5'2 then you should have no problem looking buff, your short and its easier for shorter people to look buff!! not intimidating at all but buff none the less

True... seven days would burn me out. As for your first paragraph, the answer is a) I'm correct.
