Training: How Much Is Too Much?

It is always more than just how hard you train. There are three key factors to muscle growth.

1. Train properly
2. Allow for sufficient recovery time after a workout
3. Eat the right types of foods

Even if one of the above is missing, you are limiting your potential. Let’s make it clear what each of these means.

Proper training means:

• The right exercises
• the correct technique
• adequate recovery time between sets

Sufficient time for recovery between workouts is nearly impossible to predict. Give each muscle group at least one day of rest. This is the minimum. When you get a feel of how much time is sufficient for you, update your training schedule according to it.

The right foods is for someone else to determine. Depending on your body type, you may need a different kind of diet. However, all trainers agree that you should stay away from sweets, salty food and fried food.
