Ric Drasin explains how to pick the right amount of exercises to get the best gains.

This is a point that probably hits home especially with beginner bodybuilders – there is a common mantra in life that the harder you work the better results you will get. But that’s not always the case, sometimes it’s better to work smart instead of hard. This becomes very try in bodybuilding. Yes, you need to put all your passion and energy into every single rep and set – but you also have to be smart about how you are training, how many exercises you do in a workout, and which exercises you choose to do.

Ric Drasin‘s latest video talks in detail about how many people who train in the gym are actually training too much – and that they are putting too many exercises into their workouts. This sounds backwards – why shouldn’t we work as hard as possible and do as much as possible in the gym? That’s where working smart instead of hard comes in. This of course, all revolves around recovery and how it is a key component to building muscle.

Check out the video above to get detailed advice on how to figure out if you are training too much and how to adjust your workouts to maximize your gains and give your muscle groups the right amount of recovery.
