Muscle Building

How many times have we heard the above build muscle fast statement? Or another one “I train chest and arms every day because I want them to be big”. Or even similar statements to the above like one I heard recently “I train my chest every day, but am not getting any results and now I don’t feel like training because I am getting tired.” It is natural as training experience increases that better results are obtained. But by increasing the training stimulus it is easy to end up in the situation that the load placed on the body is more than the body can handle. This situation is called overreaching and if this overreaching goes on long enough then the net result is a condition called "overtraining syndrome".
