Greg Sample lives in Florida, where he serves as president of Zagato Business Analysis. Outside of his work with the Alva, Florida, company, Greg Sample enjoys weightlifting. Below are some tips to get the most out of your weightlifting routine.
While you may want to train as often and as hard as possible, this can actually have a negative impact. Following a workout, your body will replace or repair damaged muscle fibers by fusing muscle fibers together in order to create new muscle protein. Regeneration of muscles doesn't happen during a workout, so you need to take a break from lifting every four days or less to give the process time to occur.
Adequate sleep is also critical, with the body secreting growth hormones during as you rest, so make sure to get an adequate amount of sleep each night.
It's wise to focus on calorie intake as well. During this type of workout regimen, you will be burning a significant number of calories, so you want to make sure you are getting enough energy and nutrients through the food you eat. These calories should come from healthy fats, proteins, and complex carbohydrates.
