Rest and Recovery

– Video

Tips

1. One of the biggest mistakes I made early on in my training “career” was not allowing myself enough time to recover from my training. I’d lift a maximum of 4 days a week. Actually, I think 4 days is optimal. If you’re just starting out, I’d suggest only 3 days of training as you’ll need more time to recover.

2. I talked about the post workout cold shower, but naps are also a great little thing to do as well. They result in the release of Human Growth Hormone and Testosterone, 2 very powerful hormones that help in recovery.

3. At least 8 hours of sleep is necessary for getting optimal results.
