Fast recovery isn’t the key to buffing up, Productive Recovery is what we want to maximize progress. Constantly destroying your body will make the body focus on repairing the excessive damage on the muscles instead of moulding new cuts and muscle mass.

Stretching is the most often forgotten part of a routine in bodybuilding, though it may not seem effective, it does play a huge role in muscle development. Let’s say you’ve built up muscles, sooner or later you’ll have to do exercises that need flexibility, like in compound lifting exercises and squats, you won’t be able to do maximum ranges of the exercises when you’re movements lack ranges to max out its benefits. It is also a good way to revitalize muscles by reducing muscular tension and muscle sores, therefore reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

We all love rest day, but it doesn’t mean you can slack-off during them, light cardio exercises like brisk-walking, bike strolls, etc. can help relieve soreness by stimulating blood-flow, also massaging your muscles with foam rollers helps a lot in curing muscle tightness.

Stress, aside from physical ones, affect your progress by a ton! A strenuous exercise regimen plus a very high emotional/mental stress level is a deadly combination, it throws you off your game or worse lead to injury. Stress often makes you overwork your body mentally and physically, so keep off toxicity in your life, get proper rests and sleep well then all will follow.
