Stress and Recover: The Key to Muscle GrowthTip! Change the exercise - to achieve maximal gains all muscle fibers in a body part must be trained. Changing the angle (e. If you do the same exercises every day and do not feel
sore on the next day, you will not become stronger and faster or
have greater endurance. Improvement in exercise comes from stressing and
recovering. You take a hard workout that causes your muscles
to burn, which damages them. You will feel sore the next day
because of the damage, and should take easy workouts until
the soreness disappears. Then you take another hard workout.
Muscles are damaged by hard exercise and soreness is a sign
of the damage. Then when the muscles heal, they are stronger
than they were before the hard workout. If you take another hard workout before the soreness
disappears, you place yourself at high risk for injury. If you
want to build muscle or improve in any sport, take a hard workout
that causes muscle soreness and on the next days, take easy
workouts or take off until the soreness goes away. Serious weight lifters do not take off completely during their recovery days, even though resting when your muscles feel sore allows them to heal faster. If you exercises at low intensity during recovery, your muscles will become more fibrous and resistant to injury when you stress them with the next intense bout of hard exercise. Tip!
