Build Muscle While You Are RESTING?

Your Muscle Growth is Actually Determined by What You Do Outside of the Gym!


Believe it or not, nine out of ten lifters in the gym do not know this simple fact… and it’s actually a shame. Ignorance of this fact cost guys countless hours of wasted time and effort in the gym and ultimately leads to failure. They become discouraged due to the lack of results despite there greatest efforts. But why is that? The answer is simple. They do not understand the fundamentals of building muscle! Most guys have the perception that they are building muscle while they are in the gym sweating and pounding away at the weights. Actually, you are doing the exact opposite! Give me a minute and I’ll explain…

During your weight training you are actually breaking down your muscles, not building them. When you train properly (which means training to muscular failure) you are creating microscopic tears in your muscles. This explains the soreness that comes with the few days after your workout. When your muscles heal, they rebuild themselves bigger and stronger. So what does all this mean? Why does it matter?

Well by now the answer should be obvious. Your muscle growth actually takes place outside of the gym! Your recovery time is just as important (if not more important) as your time spent inside of the gym! Therefore, an adequate amount of rest between your training sessions is essential. If your muscles never have time to heal, they will never grow! It’s as simple as that.

To sum it all up, make sure that you train hard the gym. Push your body as far as it can go, and then get out of the gym! Weight lifting only breaks down your muscle, not build them. You will not develop any more muscle by spending extra time in the gym. You are just wasting time and it is actually counterproductive. If your muscles are still sore then there is no reason to train them! This means that they are still repairing from your previous workout. Too much time in the gym will cause over-training, which is a huge muscle killing mistake.
