muscle building
At the onset of your strength-training program, allot only 2-4 days a week
for muscle training. Limit your session to one hour to 1 ½ hours, just enough
to introduce the weight lifting to your system. Anything in excess doesn’t
result in significant muscle gain, but in muscle fatigue. Your trainer may know the best in muscle building but when it comes to your body, only you should decide. People sometimes get embarrassed to inform their trainer that they can lift only lighter than what their trainer suggests. Following your limits doesn’t make you a wimp; it means you’re wise enough to listen to your body’s capacity
Respect your body’s ability to recuperate. Do not force yourself to work out while your muscles are still sore. Doing so doesn’t result in a better physique, only injuries. As much as you’d wish to stick to your Day 1, 2 and 3 routines, schedule is only secondary to recovery
