As a Fitness Instructor I know that most people who use the gym are lost. For guys, the main problem is they want to know how to build muscle but they don't know where to ask. Today we're going to reveal to you the top proven methods for packing on some lean muscle mass in no time.
Building a more muscular body is not rocket science.
To get the best results we often find that we need to go back to basics and that's exactly where so many gym members go totally wrong. They look for over complicated, often expensive, products and exercise plans when the truth is they could be getting superior results on their own.
There are five rules which, if you apply them correctly and stick to them, will have you turning heads at your local fitness center and have every guy in the gym wondering what on Earth you're doing to get continuous results.
* A muscle building diet is a must.
* Keep your supplements minimal to begin with.
* Your workouts need to focus on hypertrophy rather than endurance.
* Do not neglect to have rest days.
* Make sure you get enough sleep each night.
The steps shown above reveal what most guys never actually learn. Apply them to your training and you will be shocked just how well they work, even if you have struggled in the past to build a bigger physique. We will move on to showing you further steps, naturally, but for now the first five steps should keep you more than busy!
Next we're going to look at some of the steps in a little more depth to clear up any potential mix-ups or confusion because , in the gym, confusion is a results killer.
Most people assume that to get bigger you can just eat whatever you want. You should only do that if you're not bothered what type of size you're adding. If you want to stay lean as you grow, which most guys do, you need to set up a few basic diet rules to begin with. Multiply your target body weight, in pounds, by fifteen and this will give you a ball park figure to aim for each day.
When it comes to bodybuilding supplements it is even easier to get lost. There is a lot of money to be made here for companies, so they try their best to tell you their new formula is the greatest thing ever made. This often leads to the market looking soaked, with every product claiming to be the one you need the most. The truth is you can get incredibly far with the absolute basics as far as supplements go. Pack in a good whey protein, couple it with a creatine monohydrate product and you are good to go, my friend.
The third rule is an important one, because too many guys in the gym say things like, "I want to lose fat but I want to build muscle, too" and it leads them to having no structure in your workouts. To lose fat you should operate at a deficit, but to build size you should operate at a calorie surplus, so it's decision time guys. If you want to go for size and have built your diet for that goal you need to now structure your rep range specifically for building size, not just toning up. This means an 8-12 rep range, with a focus on big compound exercises.
In the articles following on from this we will look at some more of the principles as well as introducing you to some new ones to keep your results coming along. No more will you have to wonder how to build muscle because, with a little help, you will know.
