Then put your weights away, hang-up your running shoes, empty the pool and take the wheels off your bike. Get a book, a movie, a hammock or an armchair, sit down and just relax. Forget about increasing your heart rate or getting a sweat on. Don't even think about it. Just'relax. </p> </div> <ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_add first"><a href="/blog/comment/reply/8050#comment-form" title="Add a new comment to this page.">Add new comment</a></li> <li class="node_read_more last"><a href="/blog/muscles_grow_when_you_are_resting" title="Read the rest of Muscles Grow When You Are Resting.">Read more</a></li> </ul> <div class="big_links"> <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=www.is.gd/JWXz5i+Muscles+Grow+When+You+Are+Resting+%23Health+and+Well+Being+%23immune+system+%23workout+tips+%23weight+loss+%23rest+%23muscle+%23muscle+repair" class="tweet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tweet!</a><a href="/blog/rss.xml" class="blog_rss">Subscribe to Astro</a> </div> </div></div> <!-- /node-inner, /node --> <div id="node-8049" class="node node-teaser node-type-blog"><div class="node-inner"> <h2 class="title"> <a href="/blog/9_rules_gym_etiquette" title="9 Rules On Gym Etiquette">9 Rules On Gym Etiquette</a> </h2> <div class="meta"> <div class="comment-count"> 1 comment </div> <div class="submitted"> <span class="submitted-user">Written by <a href="/blog/user/astronutrition" title="View user profile.">AstroNutrition</a></span> <span class="submitted-date">6 September 2007</span> </div> <div class="terms terms-inline"> in <ul class="links inline"><li class="taxonomy_term_4 first"><a href="/blog/blog_topics/health_and_well_being" rel="tag" title="">Health and Well Being</a></li> <li class="taxonomy_term_732"><a href="/blog/keywords/body_odor" rel="tag" title="">body odor</a></li> <li class="taxonomy_term_143"><a href="/blog/keywords/fitness_tips" rel="tag" title="">fitness tips</a></li> <li class="taxonomy_term_274"><a href="/blog/keywords/gym" rel="tag" title="">gym</a></li> <li class="taxonomy_term_731"><a href="/blog/keywords/gym_etiquette" rel="tag" title="">gym etiquette</a></li> <li class="taxonomy_term_730"><a href="/blog/keywords/working_out" rel="tag" title="">working out</a></li> <li class="taxonomy_term_145 last active"><a href="/blog/keywords/workout_tips" rel="tag" title="" class="active">workout tips</a></li> </ul></div> </div> <div class="content"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%"> Etiquette isn't just for dinner anymore. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%"> What if there was something more you could add to your routine at the gym, something that isn't taught in classes or in videos?

You need to push beyond the relative comfortable zones in which you can easily complete a series of reps in order to develop strength. That means your biceps, quads, abs, or any other muscle group, run the risk of getting damaged. Not lifting properly or pushing too hard can strain and tear your muscles and leave you <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/muscle-soreness/AN00933">damaged</a>. Getting the ability to work the muscles again takes time, and often the only option for healing is letting your body rest.
