Rest to allow for fast recovery and growth
Your muscles grow out of the gym. Your body will need a lot of quality rest to grow fast. Don’t participate in any other forms of exercise. Get plenty of sleep at least 7 hours a night; even have naps for increased recovery. Only workout each muscle a maximum of twice per week and leave one day between workouts in general.
