2. Take Rest Days (And Deload Weeks!)
Taking time off might sound counterintuitive. Yet, when building muscle, the body requires rest periods in between training periods (called deloads) to avoid injury and properly adapt. If you don’t take time off, you might end up hurting yourself rather than getting closer to your goals.
Your bones and joints further need time to adapt. While you might be building muscle, your connective tissue may not adapt as quickly, leaving you, again, prone to injuries.
