Muscle Recovery
One of the most important and overlooked
aspects of gaining muscle mass is muscle recovery. Having
a complete understanding of the recovery cycle is key to
obtaining your weight lifting goals.
Muscles don't grow in the gym during a workout.
Muscles may get pumped up during a workout, but this is simply
fluid trapped in the muscle tissue. Muscle growth takes place
during the two to four day break between workouts after you
leave the gym. The time it takes to rebuild and the amount of
rebuilding is called your recovery ability.
The popular athletic drugs and anabolic
steroids primarily work by speeding
up your recovery system. The faster your muscles recover, the
longer and harder you can workout. The end result is larger and
stronger muscles built in a shorter peroid of time.

Protein is essential for muscle recovery
and repair. Enough protein needs to be present to repair muscle
cells after a hard workout.
Carbohydrates and fats recharge the cells
energy system. This allows your body to be ready for it's next
workout.
Having a complete understanding of your
recovery cycle will unlock the doors to massive body.
Unfortunately, many young body builders, in their excitement to
bulk up, completely ignore proper muscle recovery. Their
workouts become longer and longer, until their bodies are
unable to fully recover between workouts and after this fatigue
and an over-trained state set in. If this happens you will make
no gains no matter how hard you workout.
In a lot of ways bodybuilding magazines are
contributing to the overtraining of bodybuilders. These
magazines concentrate on the weightlifting routines of the top
bodybuilders. These men and women have spent years developing
their recovery ability and as a result they can benefit from
these long, hard, heavy workouts.
The truth is these bodybuilders did not always
train the way they are quoted in these magazines. They may be
training 15-30 sets per muscle group now, but they once only
did 3-4 sets per body part.
To accomplish you weightlifting goals you must
patiently build up your muscle recovery between workouts.
Starting out with a 3-day split, working each muscle group only
once a week. Then graduating to a 4-day split. In that same
time going from 3-4 sets per muscle group to 8-10.
A championship body can take years to develop.
If given the choice you are better off under training rather
than overtraining.

muscle the natural way – without spending long hours in the
gym, without supplements and without drugs, then this could be
