When to train?

Strength and muscle mass increase while RESTING, so it is necessary to allow AT LEAST one full day off between training days. With this in mind, the best schedule for beginners and intermediates consists of three NON-CONSECUTIVE training days each week. Commonly, training sessions are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but any other three-day-per-week scheme is acceptable. Novices are cautioned, however, that they should NEVER TRAIN TWO DAYS IN A ROW. Such a practice might bring good short-term results, but over long haul will do the body little good when compared to a standard three-days-per-week schedule.

Advanced trainers can, if they prefer, work out more often by following a split routine. This consists of exercising some of the bodypart one day and the other the next. This will still work each bodypart only three times weekly, but it allows for shorter and more intense training sessions.

Long term observation has shown that setting a regular time for workouts each exercise day is a far better practice than training at odd or irregular hours of the day. If a demand is consistently put on the organism at, say, 9:00 pm, the body will soon adjust its natural energy cycles for optimal performance at 9:00 pm. This results in a more energetic and productive training period with the weights.

Got Protein?

Here are the basics you should know about protein in your quest for muscle:

1. Make sure you get lots of it, 1-1.5 grams per body pf bodyweight.

2. Consume 20-30 grams, depending on your requirements every three hours.

3. Consume some carbs with protein so the protein is used for muscle repair not energy.

4. Eat a variety of protein sources, such as eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, milk and protein powders. Each food has its unique source of amino acids.

5. Use whey protein for fast absorption such as after your workout, use other proteins such as casein and egg protein for slower time released absorption in between meals.

"Have a protein drink right before bed to supply your muscles with nitrogen and amino acids while you sleep."
