Mike Rashid is trains like a warrior.
When it comes to building more muscle it takes a ton of time and effort to ensure that your body is getting just the right stimulus it needs. It’s been said time and again that time under tension is the absolute key to building up solid and strong muscle. But lifting heavy also has to be added into that equation as well as overtraining.
That’s right. If you want to take your body to the next level, then overtraining should be your goal from time to time. Does that mean you should redline your body constantly? Hell no! But it does mean that you should push your body past its limit from time to time before taking some time to recover.
Mike Rashid understands this concept well. As a man who is constantly in the gym, Mike Rashid has grown accustomed to pushing himself during his training. As an advocate for pushing the body to the limit through overtraining, Mike Rashid is a man who never shies away from a brutal workout. The Instagram post below shows the bodybuilder once again pushing himself to the limit by doing 110 Lbs dumbbell shoulder presses. If you weren’t sure, that’s a hell of a lot of weight to press. Take a look at this feat and more in the post below.
