Now day craze of bodybuilding and getting in the shape is becoming popular among the young generation. everyone wants to have the mind-blowing muscular physique, and everyone is joining gyms to achieve the physique of their dream. But unfortunately, due to the lack of proper knowledge and proper gym workout plan, most of them fail to achieve their goals

When it comes to bodybuilding and muscle strengthening a well-prepared Gym workout plan is required to achieve the target. A plan which has a proper workout pattern, a plan which has the proper rest period.

Why proper rest is required?

  Taking proper rest is as important as working out because it is an equally important part of the total process required to build muscle, strength, stamina, and endurance.

While working out we perform resistance training and due to which our muscle tissue get to break down.it also breaks down the muscles causing microscopic tears. Rest days allows our muscle, bones, nerves, and tissues time to rebuild and recover bigger and stronger.

So here I’m providing you with a five-day split gym workout routine which I personally also prefer for training and strengthening my muscles, And I guarantee you that it will be helpful for you too, and you will be able to gain some serious muscle mass and strength.

Why Five-Day split Gym Workout Plan Is Helpful?

The five-day split is among one of the most common Gym workout plan used among most of the bodybuilders, not among bodybuilders, but among various athletes also. the reason behind this split is so popular is that not only it allows proper recovery in each muscle group, but it also helps the trainee to work at a much higher intensity because each muscle group is trained only once in a week. Which ultimately leads to the increase in muscle mass and strength of trainee.

Important Points to be kept in mind while working out

Consume enough calories before 1 hour of starting the workout

 Our body needs energy to perform well in the gym, so it becomes essential to consume enough calories 1 hour before hitting the Gym.

Take at least 60-second rest between each set

Studies have shown that taking 60 to 90-second rest between each set increases testosterone level and if your testosterone level increases you will get the better result because if you have more testosterone level you will gain faster.

Your rest period should not be too short nor too long because if it is too short you will quickly fatigue your working muscle. Or if it is too long you will lose your muscle pump. so it will be beneficial to take 60-90 second rest between each set.

Your workout period should not be more than 60 minutes

Your workout should be short but intense and the reason behind this is that if you do the intense workout for more than 60 minutes your testosterone level will go too down, and cortisol level will go up which is not good at all.

Do each exercise with proper form

Because doing the workout with proper form is much more important than lifting heavy. So rather than lifting heavy focus on your form. lift according to your capacity maintaining proper form. Guys if you want to achieve some severe muscle just keep your ego aside and lift weights according to your capacity and proper form.

Try to make muscle and mind connection to get better results

 Because Mind and muscle connection is critical to building muscle. Think about the muscle you are training, feel the resistance.

Lift the weight according to your capacity

Keeping your ego aside lift weights according to your capacity because There are three benefits of lifting weights according to capacity

1.       the workout will be proper in form
2.       It will become easy to make muscle mind connection.
3.       You will be safe from injuries

Give the extra 10 minutes to stretching’s and warm-up

Do warm-up exercises before starting the workout so that your body gets heat up.

Finish every rep

It is essential to reach the failure point while performing any set of any exercise. failure is essential to gain some serious muscle mass. so finish each rep of each set.

Do compound movement

Focus on compound movements. because doing more compound movements will help you to get overall muscle mass and strength.

Eat clean to stay lean

If you have done some serious training in the morning that does not mean that you will eat burgers and pizzas in the evening. Taking a clean and protein-rich diet is equally important as working out/ so try to take 6 healthy meals a day. focus on a protein-rich diet.
