The recovery is the period of rest between two sessions of weight training. It aims to rebuild energy stores in muscles, but also to rehabilitate them after the meeting, as well as the joints and nervous system. The recovery is very important for muscle growth. It determines a successful weight gain.

Recovery is a key step in bodybuilding, and even more during weight gain.It was during the recovery, so the rest, the muscle recovers and grows. So during this recovery as the muscle grows.

During the workout, the muscle undergoes many stresses and micro-trauma, but not only the muscles, tendons, ligaments and all other components of joints as well.

Parts of the body in motion are not alone in suffering damage. The nervous system also especially with intensive training and relatively heavy. The muscle contractions are carried out through the nervous system, which sends an electrical signal. For powerful contractions, you need a large stimulus nervous, and as the muscles, the nervous system fatigue gradually. We must therefore leave a large enough recovery time.

Recovery therefore need time, but also nutrients. During recovery, it is necessary that the muscle has enough nutrients to repair damage sustained during weight training, repeat the energy reserves, and finally develop to prepare for the next meeting, being stronger and stronger.

Nutrition has an important role to play in recovery. That is why the weight gain is conducive to a better recovery because it provides nutrients in large quantities.

Overtraining

If recovery is not sufficient, it falls into the overtraining. It is common among practitioners that bodybuildings do not pay attention to their nutrition and their rest. It was one of stagnation or even regression, extreme fatigue, injuries more frequent.

This also explains that the period of weight gain should not be too long because after a while, the body can no longer cope with this level.
