Recovery
 

Not allowing your body to recover

If you don’t allow your body enough time to rest and recover, it can not regenerate and rebuild. It is during sleep that the growth hormone levels reach their peak, and the broken down muscles are able to heal and recover. This makes resting a crucial component of getting bigger, so don’t underestimate it.

Without proper recovery, you’re also more likely to reach a performance plateau and increase your risk of injury and overtraining. The point is: you will never achieve real growth without getting enough sleep – and we’re talking about eight hours of it every single night.

Remember: getting huge requires discipline and hard work. The five mistakes mentioned above have compromised the efforts of many guys before you, so make sure to take them into account. Eat big, lift heavy, get enough sleep and don’t deviate from your plan until you’ve reached your goal.
