After 45 minutes of exercising the levels of the stress hormone cortisol start to rise a lot in the body, so that after 60 minutes you are actuallly doing more harm to your body that good. The ideal amount of exercise is 45 minutes, but anywhere in the 45 minute to 60 minute range is fine. Also the ideal rep range for an exercise is 6-9 reps per set, with 7-8 being the ideal amount.

I suggest this because every time you work out your muscle tissue rips and tears.....This days rest will give your muscles time to rebuild, making them bigger and stronger (that is why you are sore)! If you are not giving your muscles time to rebuild then it will take you twice as long to have the results you want. Hope this helps you!!!! My best advice is to do your routine every other day.

Stick to 3 sets, and just raise the weight if you can. Are you doing protein? Optimum Nutrition makes a good and (relatively) affordable whey protein. You are supposed to take 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight if you want to get big. But that MF article- it makes no sense- if you lift more, your muscles respond by getting bigger. Smaller- give me a break. Don’t listen to Men’s Fitness about overworking- if you put enough controlled stress on your muscles, they will grow. Stick to 3 sets, and just raise the weight if you can.
