The answer is simple. They can't afford to over-train. While they can still experience muscle soreness or even get over-trained once in a while, they just can't afford this on daily basis. Why? Because they are paid for being able to train every day.
They must know their limits. Do you?
If you are just starting out, then you will get sore from working out that's without doubt. But if you train for let's say 2-5 years and your muscles still hurts like hell every day, you are just training too much. And this is something that might keep you from further muscle growth.
Don't try to do more with more. This is a common mistake. When you were a beginner, you have probably started training twice a week for let's 40 minutes per workout session. After a while, you added another workout day, then another and then another. You also extended time you spent in the gym.
And now after few years you train 6 or even 7 times per week for 2 hours per session and you just have no more room to go. It seems that the only way to do more is to train twice a day and 7 times a week, but if you are not a professional bodybuilder that gets help from various drugs, you won't be able to do that, that's just too much stress for your body.
Taken this tough schedule if you add some High Intensity exercises you are really getting close to overtraining thus risking illness, injury and also hitting plateau - in other words you will stagnate with your muscle gains.
I know this because I've been trying to do the same when I was only 17 and after a while I got sick for several months, fortunately I realized this mistake soon enough.
So here you are. You work out almost every day, you spend enormous time in the gym and you got pretty much no more room for an additional workout, right?
Do you remember the beginning of the article, where I started explaining how athletes work out? Well, how do they not get over-trained? Of course they might take some illegal stuff, but let's say that we are talking about athlete who doesn't take any drugs; however who is still capable of training every day and on top of who doesn't feel like crap after every workout or even day after that. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to work out every day, right? So, what is that secret or magic pill they use?
You would never guess.
He doesn't try to do more with more like the majority of guys in the gym; he tries to do more with LESS! Yes that's right. I just said doing more with less, you heard me correctly.
This is a completely new approach that not many guys know about. This is the way for great strength and awesome muscle gains.
I'm sure you know that in order to develop your muscles you need to train them as hard as you can and as often as you can. The problem is that you might be focusing on the "hard part" little bit too much.
So what is the actual approach I'm talking about and what do I even mean by doing more with less?
Here's a little experiment for you. Next time you hit the gym try to lower the weights you lift. Keep lowering them until you will be able to do the perfect form. In dumbbell bench press this might be just few pounds.
If you are able to train hard, but still do the same workout every day, you just hit the right spot.
It's true that you should circulate between various workouts thorough the year and between various workout levels as well. But if you have some lower intensity regular workout right now, use this approach.
Training the same muscles several times per week will do much more good to you than trying to crash them in one training session.
I've used this technique while designing the Muscle Pyramid workouts. Those of you, who already follow them, know that you are able to train shoulders in every workout while still not getting any muscle soreness, right?
Amazing don't you think? It's because you are not somehow trying to crush them in every workout.
I know that it might be difficult for you to lower the weights, but trust me it's worth it. Once you started doing the perfect form and leave some room for regeneration, your progress will skyrocket.
Use this rule while working out: "Technique first, weight second."
Another benefit you will get from this approach is that you will feel energy from your muscles; you will feel like a powerful man, the fatigue and tiredness will disappear.
However remember to always push hard, this is not your excuse not to push hard enough. You are not in the gym for vacation, you are there for work.
