MUSCLE RECOVERY

When we go to the gym and lift those heavy weights we are actually tearing and breaking our muscles down. The growth of muscles happens when your are resting and recovering.
Now when you rest you must give your body the necessary raw materials to engage in the repair and rebuild process. So after your workout you should be getting in your protein and carbs.
Protein is core to building muscle and without protein you would have total muscle collapse.
You also need to get in your amino acids such as glutamine, gluatamine is great as it helps the body to recover but did you know that 60% of your muscle is made up of glutamine and glutamine also helps your immune systems white blood cells. Another aspect of recovery is getting quality sleep and trying to reduce your stress levels as much as possible. Oh and on last thing do not train your muscles to the point where you feel the soreness and pain for days other wise you body will use all its resources to repair and restore the muscle but you it will not build additional muscle mass.
