IS FOR REST

“You don’t grow in the gym. In fact, it’s the only time you’re not growing.

You break down your muscles when you train, and the remainder of the

day you build them back up. The key to this is getting plenty of quality

rest. When I trained twice a day, I used to go home or to the beach and

nap between workouts. I’d also always made sure I got at least eight

hours of sleep each night and often more like nine or 10. I thought of

sleep or even just rest as growing time, and, as the name suggests,

R that time is crucial to bodybuilding success.”
