This is very critical when you`re trying to put on size. On top of nutrition comes adequate recovery time...Yes rest! Oh how much I love rest, if I could only find a job that allowed me to sleep and collect a fat check I`d be good :)
After going to war during a session..and I mean war with the iron, to the point of failure- getting that last rep in after you already thought you gave it all you had. Those are the reps that produce progress, those are the reps that separate the real from the fake. At this point these barriers that you are pushing through- meaning those reps that barely made it are the ones that count..those are the ones that make you grow.
When pushing more weight than you`re use to you, you begin to create micro tears in the lean muscle mass you already have. With proper nutrition and recovery time (giving your body time to heal the broken down tissue with more lean muscle mass) your body will be ready to pound it out again..with heavier weights constantly repeating the process. With proper progression by increasing load, reps, variations you should eventually see the addition of body mass on your frame. That`s a good thing!
If for some reason you`re one of those knuckle heads that go to town pounding it out day after day I guarantee you the opposite results will occur. You will constantly break down the muscle, not giving it a chance to grow resulting in over training..and burning out. Not a good thing!
If you want to put on size- you have to push weight!
I know there is so much more to cover on this subject- but simply put rest is when you grow..not pounding it out day after day with out a plan..that`s a recipe for failure!
