Muscle Growth

You hit the gym, eat good food and rest well. Are you happy your growing at a reasonable rate? Do you know whats happening inside your body? The process of muscle growth is not known for sure, but most theories are based on the idea that lifting breaks down the muscle, and growth results from over-compensating to protect the body from future stress. The human body breaks down and rebuilds all of the muscles every 15 to 30 days. Lifting speeds up the process due to an increased need for fuel. Rebuilding peaks 24 to 36 hours after training and continues at increased rates for as much as 72 hours. It's really a simple case of adaptation, your body will try to adapt to everything you throw at it, but it comes at a small price. In order for all your hard gym work to pay off you must feed it and rest it in order to meet it's demands.

You must always strive to be stronger than you were the last time you hit that bodypart. By being stronger that could be one extra rep or an extra pound on the bar. As long as you are stronger than you were the last time you are moving in the right direction.

Leave your ego in the locker room. Dont be afraid to put on the 1.25kg plate on the bar, if you are progressing, that 1.25kg plate will soon become a 20kg plate. You will be bigger and stronger for it.
