Overtraining Is KILLING Your Gains! (How Much Is Too Much?) | Mind Pump TV

In this video, Sal goes over how to properly facilitate recovery for maximum muscle gain. If you overtrain, you are at a potential risk at not making any progress. When you are working out, you ask your body to burn body fat or build muscle. Once you send that signal, your body strays away from adapting and recovering to build or burn. But, you need to find the right balance with sending this signal and making sure you are not overtraining. Make sure that you get great sleep when you are training. Poor sleep or lack of sleep compromises your body's ability to recover, burn fat, and build muscle. Place a special emphasis on good, quality sleep. An hour before bed, create a sleep routine. Turn the bright lights off. If you can't do that, you can use blue-blockers, which block the blue light that keeps you up from electronics. Drink warm chamomile tea an hour before bed, it is a natural sleep-aid. Get a cool room, 65 degrees is the best temperature for sleep. Also! Sleep naked! It helps with sleep quality. How long should you wait between workouts? Advanced people can train at higher intensities more often. Keeping that in mind, more important than frequency is the intensity of training. Hit a body part again if you are feeling sore, but with lower intensity. For most people, this means full-body workouts two to three times a week. (MAPS Anabolic). If you feel great during your workouts, push yourself, but if you don't scale down on the intensity. FREE GUIDES: https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/p/free-...
