I was training 3-4 times per week but my muscles were always aching.So they were not really recovering properly. But now i only train once a week in my gym my muscles are finding time to recover, and i can see a difference in this. No more fancy machines, 1 day in gym then do the rest at home As soon as i finish lifting weights at home its straight in the kitchen to make my munch followed with my Whey...... When i started 2 years ago i was training everyday( silly me) LESS IS REALLY MORE ______________________ BENCH PRESS 100KG 1 X 1 DEADS 140KG 1 X 1 SQUATS 140KG 1 X 1 5'6 75KG AND STILL GROWING |

Most bodybuilders would collapse at the thought of training twice a week. It's all about recovery IMO. If your not genetically gifted to recover, there is nothing wrong with training once or twice a week. I bet just training once per week is allowing your lifts to improve, isn't it? ______________________ 'Hello Madam, I am calling from you bank' | |

So when i go to the gym still only once a week i'm still doing fullbody workout. It takes me about 1 hour. I like to get in then out, no hanging around..lol lol But since i have been going once a week my muscles are getting plenty of good rest. And my lifts are much better, plus i can see a difference in my body too. ______________________ BENCH PRESS 100KG 1 X 1 DEADS 140KG 1 X 1 SQUATS 140KG 1 X 1 5'6 75KG AND STILL GROWING |

I can't believe i used to train 4 times a week. My muscles were always aching But now they are resting and i'm giving them proper time to recover I love doing my legs, In my new gym they have nice and heavy weights.Last week i did 140kg leg press and i was loving the pain. lol lol Plus no more smith machine,How much does the olympic bar weigh cause i only managed 60kg, so im guessing the bar is 20kg cause i can normally lift 80kg( 40kg each side of smith machine ______________________ BENCH PRESS 100KG 1 X 1 DEADS 140KG 1 X 1 SQUATS 140KG 1 X 1 5'6 75KG AND STILL GROWING |
