Gains Happen After the Workout

[Zillion]

I used to train the same muscles every day because I thought more workouts meant more gains. Instead I stayed sore felt weaker and barely made progress. Once I started taking recovery seriously everything changed. Getting 7to 9 hours of sleep eating enough protein and giving my muscles time to recover made me stronger week after week. I also noticed that stretching and staying hydrated helped reduce soreness more than I expected. Rest days stopped feeling like wasted days they became part of my training plan. Now whenever someone asks me how I broke through my plateau I always say the same thing train hard but recover even harder. Your muscles don't grow while you're lifting they grow while you're recovering.
