Day 7: Rest & Recovery
Focus on mobility work, stretching, and active recovery.
Training hard is only half the equation—your diet plays a huge role in muscle gain. Make sure to include proteins like (chicken, beef, eggs, fish) to your diet. Complex carbs (rice, oats, sweet potatoes) provide energy for intense training and healthy fats like nuts, avocados, and olive oil support hormone production. Also, stay hydrated – muscles need water to function properly, so drink plenty of fluids.
Now, hit the gym and get to work!
