QUICK TIP

Eight-time Mr. Olympia champion Lee Haney of the United States refers to it as ‘quality over quantity.’ It should also be noted that excessively lengthy workouts increase the release of the stress hormone, cortisol, which is very catabolic.

It may hamper muscular recovery and lead to loss of muscle tissue.

This could be hard on the immune system. As a general rule, your weight training should be over in 45-70 minutes.

Even current world champion bodybuilders do not train more than that. Then why should you?

This is one area where ‘more’ is definitely not better.
