Resting Your Muscles

Resting your muscles is key to building muscle. You need 48 hours of rest and recovery at least twice a week to insure your muscles produce the best results. The actual muscle building process takes place during your days of rest. So it is best to have on and off days during your weeks of working out. If you over-train your muscles, it will result in your body feeling exhausted and potentially you will feel weaker. Your muscles will become damaged and they can't get stronger. Time and rest is the ultimate healer for building muscle.
