How To Pick A Workout Routine When You Haven’t Worked Out In Ages

As someone who has been competing every 6-9 months for the past 4 years, I have never allowed my body the time that it takes to truly build some real quality muscle mass in order to do well in the natural professional ranks of bodybuilding. Now that I am giving myself this time, I have been doing quite a bit of research as well as consulting with some of the top coaches in the industry of natural bodybuilding. In order to come in bigger and better than ever, I have discovered that there are two key components to building muscle that I have personally overlooked quite a bit in the past. If you are also interested in building some serious muscle, I would recommend paying particular attention to these key points!

Key #1 to tremendous muscle growth) REST!!

To me this concept seems so counter-intuitive! However in order for our bodies to grow muscle, it needs sufficient recovery time. Part of this recovery time involves NOT touching any weights! Now, if you are like me, and have trained yourself into thinking that you need to be at the gym 6-7 days/week working out because you are afraid that you will lose ground….think again. Our body builds muscle when we are resting. Sleep is the number 1 activity that can help build muscle tissue once you have had an effective workout!
