Recuperation Many people forget that your muscles need REST to recover from work outs, and to stimulate growth. Not getting enough rest will result in muscle pains and a lack of solid growth. 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day is advised by many of the world's leading experts.

Fuel for your muscle-building plans Like cars our body needs plenty of "fuel" to recover, grow and operate. When you want to increase your muscle mass you will need to increase your calorie intake. Start by eating an extra 300 or so calories a day, and when you are no longer gaining weight/muscle increase it to 500 calories. A small increase in your protein consumption is also required to speed up muscle creation. Meat, and eggs contain plenty of protein. Lean red meat especially is a great source for protein.

Test your limits but be careful.. Try so me of the heavier weights and see how many reps you can do. But be careful, as soon as you feel pain or are unable to get the weight up stop right away. Risking injury is not worth it as it will cause you to be unable to train for days or weeks. And don't forget to get a proper warm-up before you start training.

So in short : Eat a bit more calories than you did before you started training, always do warm-ups, test various exercise routines for the best one, take care of your body, and eat healthy. You will see results soon enough.
