      Yes. Get on a different routine that trains all your muscles 2-3x a week

      Starting Strength
      Upper/Lower Split
      Push/Pull/Legs

      Doesn't each muscle/muscle group have to be worked once a week, or twice at most? Don't you have to give your muscles time to recover man?

      A muscle doesn't need a week to recover. By that logic we should only workout once every other week. Follow his advice and get on a premade program, yours is no good.

      You definitely do! But you don't need to give them 7 days to recover. 24-48 hours is good enough especially as a beginner just my 2 cents and how me and many others have seen better progress strength-wise.

      Oh..well I've been hearing people say you can work out each muscle up to 3 times a week for a long time, but for me, the soreness often persists for up to 5 days, so I just went with the "Do what works for you" advice, and I've been giving my muscles a week or so, just to be sure they've recovered completely..

      You are sore for so long because your train so infrequently. If you trained the muscle 2-3x a week it would stop being as sore.

      When I do pushups, I mainly feel them in my back. Therefore, I clarify them mainly a back exercise. But they're more of a compound exercise, so of course back is not the only muscle being worked.
