Rest is essential

"Perhaps nothing is more frustrating to me then trying to convince a beginner that his spending 2 hours in the gym every day without rest won't make him a big man. Rather, he'll likely end up losing muscle," wrote someone in his blog. And it's true, because muscles are not growing when you are using them, but when you are resting, sleeping and not doing hard work.

When the average person encounters an impressive physique he will say, "Boy, I bet that guy works out a lot." The truth is that diet, training and rest are all critically important to the muscle building process. What you should say when you encounter an impressive physique is, "Boy, that guy works out, eats well and provides his body with sufficient rest."

There's nothing more comforting like a feeling in your muscles day or two after hard training :-). Sometimes I can even feel like they are growing right now :-D it something like a delightful pain... and it feels right. Although try to do your abs workout, eat some carbs and proteins go to sleep and get up early in the morning and check them out... it's something called morning abs... they are tight! because all the water in your muscles is gone.

So to sum it up for you, do your training as hard as you can for 2 days, take a one day break, do another 2 days training and take 2 days break. Sleep well and enough, there is no excuse to have no sleep, not even party... if you want a great body, you have to consider it. Also try to sleep for some hour through the day, I'm usually taking nap after lunch it helps to process the food and also gives you some rest before training to come.
