Weight lifting techniques !!!!
If you don't work the muscle, your not going to grow. If you overtrain the muscle, your not going to grow. The trick is to find a happy medium that places enough stress on the muscle in order for it to grow. Proper weight training is the catalyst to muscle growth. Do it right, and you'll build slabs of muscle (Of course, your diet and rest must be in place), do it wrong and you walk a fine line of poor results and injuries. The most important thing you can do in your weight lifting program is to stimulate enough muscle fibre for growth (The more muscle fibre you employ the better).
If your goal is to build muscle, you need to use exercises that use the most muscle fibre possible. These exercises are compound movements such as the squat and dead lift. Do these exercises with proper form, and improve with these exercises from workout to workout and you'll build ALOT of muscle mass. The key here is proper form.
No matter how hard you train or how much you eat, if you don't get the rest you need, your workouts are going to fizzle. It is during sleep that most growth and repair occurs. Without adequate sleep the body becomes weakened.
It is crucial to your muscle building program that you get the correct amount of sleep and rest because muscle growth happens while you are resting, not while you are training. An optimal recovery cycle is just as important as your weight training program.
Weight lifting tears the muscle tissue down and the diet provides the necessary fuel and material for repair, but it is during sleep that the repair and growth process occurs. Therefore, sleep is as vital to building muscle as is your training program and diet.
Good Luck / DD
