I've been following this workout plan for six months and have noticed significant changes in my body. However, I'm concerned about whether each muscle group is getting enough stimulation weekly. For instance, there's a five-day gap between my chest workouts, which makes me wonder if it's sufficient. Despite seeing good results, I want to ensure my muscles are adequately stimulated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
