subject: 2 Important Parts Of Your Workout That You're Overlooking That Will Skyrocket Your Gains [print this page] When it comes to lifting heavy weights and working out, we've pretty much got that part down pat, don't we guys? We get in there, we throw around some heavy weights and then shuffle into the showers and have a slight smile of satisfaction at our intensity for the day. So why in the heck aren't we seeing the gain we want?? It can be a really tough problem, one that I dealt with myself for a very long time. We put in the time at the gym, we eat healthy and we still don't see any gains in size and very little in strength. Just what the heck is going on here? It's enough to make most people just give up in frustration. I certainly did myself, twice! But I kept coming back because I wanted to figure it out. The problem is that it has nothing to do with our intensity or how hard we're working out. The problem simply lies in one, seemingly minor thing that most people overlook when it comes to training. Rest Muscles aren't made in the gym, guys! They're made when we're home sleeping and recovering. If we could build huge muscle by just lifting heavy weights, just about everyone in America would look like Arnold, wouldn't they? Arguably the most important part of your workout is how much rest and recovery you're giving to your muscles. They need a lot of time to recuperate and grow stronger for the next workout. Have you ever noticed that when you take a week or two off from training, you're kind of week for a day or so, but you come back even stronger than ever before? It's because your body was able to recover 100% The other side of the coin in our diets. Now I know most of you are eating pretty healthy (you are, aren't you? Otherwise, what's the point??). The other problem when it comes to rest and recovery is our muscles need a ton of calories to grow larger. But we spend so much time in the gym that our muscles never get the calories they need to grow. They only get the bare minimum needed to recover somewhat in time for our next workout! The key is, fellas, lift heavy a max of three days a week and start upping your calories every single day. You should be eating in the range of 4000-5000 calories every day. Stop trying to blast through workout days and instead focus on those three days and allow yourself to recover the rest of the week. The gains you'll make after that will be great.
