Can rest make you stronger??

In order to improve performance it takes a lot of hard work. However, when you train hard, your muscles experience a break down which makes it difficult to maintain a hard training schedule over an extended period of time.

Believe it or not, rest that makes you stronger. While resting you are actually allowing your muscles to heal and recover. A high intensity, functional, workout program, combined with proper balanced nutrition, rest and recovery will improve your ability to handle an increased level of intensity and volume. Rest is just as important as the actual workout.
