This week's powerlifting tip:
Lets talk about rest. Most new powerlifters think that the more work you do, the stronger you get. This is not only incorrect but you may cause serious damage to muscles if you work any muscle group too much.
Building muscle is a series of break downs and build ups. That is, you work a muscle to break it down and then your body rebuilds it during rest. The more you break muscles down, without rest, the more damage you can cause. Remember to let muscle recuperate fully before working it again. Manage your workouts to rotate muscle groups from arms to legs to back about every three days. This way you can work out all week. Most powerlifters only work one set of muscle groups once or twice a week.
