Many Bodybuilders are so gun ho about the exercise that they do not give their body time for muscle recovery. Therefore, maximum muscle growth is not archived.

The purpose of bodybuilding is to get bigger muscles. In order to gain muscle growth, you need to tear down the muscles in each exercise so the cells will split. During this splitting, your muscles will shrink. Only later, will your muscles begin to grow. This is why muscle recovery is so important. When you skip this very important stage, you are skipping the Muscle Growth Process.

The reason why the muscle cells split is because the body has been damaged. In this damage stage, the body duplicates the cell to protect itself from the same type of damage again. That is why you have to push yourself harder every time you workout.

After you have recovered properly, your muscles are bigger and stronger. They are ready for the next intense bodybuilding session, so you need to be ready to push yourself harder then you did during the last workout. How do you do this… by being motivated and mentally prepared before you even start.

This means you can only begin on the same muscle when you have recovered fully. A lot of bodybuilders think the more time they spend exercising, the bigger the muscles will be. This is not true. It is not how many exercises you can squeeze into the week, but the quality of effort you put in when you exercise. After you have given it your all, you need to eat the right foods and rest the proper amount of time. How do you know when you have rested long enough? It usually take two to three days after a good workout for full muscle recovery.
