    Depends on how long you've been lifting and how sore you are. Soreness means your muscles are growing so I would just push through it unless it was too painful.

    i agree. but one added note. give each particular muscle 48 hours to rest.

    I think you are right. I noticed more gains when I stop lifting for a couple days and allow my muscles to recover compared to lifting every day.
