Heavy Duty College podcast

"Majority of bodybuilders today seem to operate by seeing...
-how many sets they can do or how much they can take"
-but: bodybuilding is NOT AEROBIC; not endurance contest
Purpose of bodybuilding:
-into gym
-logically, methodically do what
is required to trigger body's growth
mechanism...no more than that
"Then, get the hell out of the gym
get some rest; grow"

Big picture of bodybuilding: 2 equal elements...
NEITHER IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER
1-the workout itself
2-rest period between workouts
Workout does not produce
muscular growth; IT IS A STIMULUS
-stimulates body's growth mechanism
into motion
-the BODY produces growth...but only
if left alone to do so
[don't rest; don't grow]

How much time for rest between workouts?
-immediately following a workout, you are exhausted
-you feel fully fatigued &
-considerable resources were used to fuel the workout
-feel like in a hole; a deficit
First thing body must do following
workout is NOT BUILD MOUNTAIN
but begin filling the hole [recovery]
Recovery Process could take 5 days
before body can build mountain
-if you train again before recovery
complete: will short circuit process

Proof: every experienced bodybuilder has had experience of...
-say, heavy leg workout on Fri afternoon
-breaks personal records & reps are up
-rests all weekend, thinking
will wake up Monday all refreshed...
But, Monday wakes up sytemically
fatigued
Confusing because exercise not only
fatigues focused muscle group, but
also has systemic effect
Rest enough for local recovery &
systemic recovery...can take weeks
