Hi, I'm 18 years old, and have been working out for about a year every other day. I am very fit, and I'm 150 lbs. and can bench around 200. These last few months I've been gaining strength, but I'm not feeling sore whatsoever, no matter how hard I push my muscles. This is because they are so used to working out. My question is if I bench heavy one day, could I do a "lighter" chest workout the day after, along with all my other muscle groups. I would still get 24 hours of rest between workouts, but not the day in between that so many people seem to preach. I just want to get into the best physical shape possible for college soccer next year, and sometimes you have to do what no one else is doing to get ahead. THe bottom line is, can you work out the same muscle groups 5-6 days a week, but going heavy-low rep one day, and lighter medium rep the next. THanks so much.

If you're already very fit then you can probably start working out 5-6 days a week, there are, however, some things I would recommend. A) build it up over time, don't go crazy straight away, let your body adapt. B) recover properly, invest in some recovery drinks or protein shakes, these will also help build up muscle quicker C) maybe invest in some compression clothing for recovery too. They can be so useful after a tough workout and mean that you recover quicker, i.e. so you can workout the day after.
Good luck

if your training to play soccer in college, benching should be one of the last exercises you should be worried about. you should focus on some move explosive movements, such as they hang clean, lunges, squats,
but if you like benching, which everyone does then on your off does from instead of doing a light bench do some medicine ball throws against a wall, now you can start turning that strength that your building into power, and recover
