The Importance of rest to a successful training regiment

Rest is very important to the success of any routine. Too much rest and your muscles will atrophy too little rest and you over train so what do you do? The key is to develop a split routine so that you are not crossing or training any one body part too many times. The way to do this is to split up your rest days so that you do not have any two together and train different body parts on different days. The most important is to split your rest days. Even someone who is a novice can benefit from spiting there rest days. My suggestion is to have one rest day at the beginning of the week and another one at the end like sun and wed. Now lets get to the splitting of the routine you would need to divide your body parts into sections on different days. You would do specific body parts on certain days like Monday would be chest day and Tuesday you could do arms. This gives your body a chance to recuperate on areas that you are not working on. One suggestion that I will give you is to split up your larger body parts with the smaller ones to avoid over training fatigue. You can also add a supplement like ZMA to help you rest and  recover at night before bed to decrease the recovery time.
