Stretching after you do an exercise can be just as important as stretching during a warm-up! Immediately, after you have worked on a muscle group, do a stretch that focuses on that group and hold the stretch position for a good 90 seconds. This will stretch out the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding the muscle) and encourage more muscle growth.
When you engage in extreme training sessions, additionally, you will need sufficient quantities of quality protein and complex carbohydrates to fuel the additional requirements from your metabolism. About 1.5 grams each of proteins and carbohydrates for each pound of body weight is considered ideal for a beginning. After monitoring the progress over a couple of months, this composition of carbohydrates and protein may be altered by adding / deleting carbohydrates / proteins while the case may be.
