hours you have to sleep (which could
vary for each person) but also to not
having heavy tasks during the day. Or
put another way, if you are a miner, a
construction worker, a moderate or
heavy load operator, and similar lines
of work, everything becomes much
more complicated. The body does not
distinguish between activities done to
earn a living or enjoying a workout.
Efforts remain efforts, and carry with
them the same problem of rest and
recovery.
• Those who use doping, especially
hormones. Doping was implemented
in sports because it increased
physical performance, especially
because it helped recover from
training, accelerating the body’s
resources that returned all bodily
functions to their maximum. We
would like to remind you at this point
that doping is both illegal and
potentially hazardous to your heath. It
carries with it consequences that
might make things much more
complicated in the long run.

In general, we could assume certain
periods of time in which we could train 6
days a week if we are advanced and have
full capacity and free time to be able to
dedicate full weeks to it. However, and to
be honest, we will gain much more if we
do not go beyond 4 days a week, or for
some 5 leaving the days off to complete
the recovery, which as we have seen, not
only involves the return of glycogen to
pre-training levels. In any case, it is better
to “make a mistake” by not training as
much, as by training too much if what
you are looking for is an increase in
muscle mass.
