Wondering how many days you guys rest between muscle groups and why! I workout 5 on (plus cardio on 6) then 1 off for about 1 1/2- 2 hrs. If I switch up my workout by resting every other day will i lose anything since my body is used to working out all the time?

no you shouldnt lose anything. you may infact gain some strength and weight. 5 or 6 days ina row is alot.
try switching it up to 3 on 2 off or 2 on 1 off.
just try to keep the body guessing and it will keep growing.
make sure your diet is in check though

Depending on my intensity, I have learned that for my body, I need to let each body part rest about 6-8 days approx until I can get a good pump, increased strength and growth, from the next workout. I basically lift every other day and sometimes every 3 days. Its all about rest man, if you do things right. The sooner I eat PWO, the better I feel the next day as well, less soreness, "tighter" etc.
