What Not To Do If You Want To Build Muscles
If you are having difficulties in building muscles, then I have tip for you: do not workout hard.
Many people make the worse mistake that they can ever make when the subject is workouts. The average person believes that the harder he/she works out, the better are the results. Do not be the average.
Understand that your body has a way of its own. You can’t force another way for it to do its job. This means that you must accept its way and follow it, not forcing a new one. Don’t go against the nature, the best way is to understand it and learn how to use it into your advantage.
Your body is used to work in this way when it comes to muscle building: By working out, you slightly cut in your muscles cells (micro cuts are created). Your regeneration system sees that there are cells hurt and it adds proteins to them.
These proteins will fill the holes that the micro cuts created. Since our bodies’ regeneration systems cannot measure very well the amount of proteins that it needs to add, it will add more proteins than the necessary. That is why growth happens.
This way of functioning explains why you need to workout (create micro cuts), eat proteins (have raw materials for your regeneration system to fill the holes) and rest (so that your regeneration system has time to go fill the holes) if you want to build muscles. This is how your body works and you cannot cheat on it.
By the way, a lot more than eating proteins is necessary in relation to bodybuilding nutrition, but that is not subject for this post.
All this explanation shows why working out harder (many times) doesn’t mean growing muscles faster. Your body requires resting between workouts.
As a rule of thumb: if you are working out for more than two days in a row, put at least one day for resting right after those two days.
