Depending how long you have been a member of a gym you may have already encountered the madness which ensues when you ask anybody for tips on how to build muscle fast. This also occurs when you bring up the topic of how to lose weight of course. Nobody tells you the same thing twice and everybody swears that their way is the right way. Right now you're going to find out the facts and they are a lot simpler than you might be thinking.
Today's post will feature five foundations of building lean, fat free tissue. Whether you're looking to become a man-mountain or just simply improve your physique, let's get to work.
1) You Still Need To Diet.
2) Stick To Basic Supplements.
3) Your Workouts Need To Be Strength And Size Focused.
4) The Importance Of Rest.
5) Sleeping Is Now Part Of Your Training.
The five rules are very basic and, strangely, very easily overlooked in favor of needlessly more complicated techniques. Simply put, these are proven to work and have stood the test of time on the gym floor. Rule number one is about diet. That's right, you still need to diet if your goal is adding size and strength.
While you may be striving to add more size to your body, we're pretty sure you don't mean fat.
The first thing you need to be, even before you hit the gym, is to sort out the basics of your eating regime. That's right, getting your diet laid out in stone is more important. Today's video shows how it's done.
People also have a laid back approach when it comes to supplements. They're sold on hype. So many gym users take a protein or another product because they liked the promises on the packaging about what it would do. Take a few seconds to learn the basics on supplements so you can spot a good one from a bad one, otherwise you'll be constantly jumping between products.
Keep your supplements basic when going for size. Stick to the proven ones such as whey protein and creatine, anything else is an 'add on' and not a necessity. The basis of your diet should revolve around food, not powder and pills.
When it comes to your workout routine there are a million different ways to do it but the foundations of any great muscle building program are always very similar. Compound movements including Bench Press, Squat and Bent Over Rows are the focus of your work. You'll see others spending 45 minutes isolating their forearms, but this isn't going to get them anywhere.
Resting your muscles is very important, too. Most of us get hooked on the feeling of getting results in the gym and don't want to skip days. While that's great, it's actually holding you back. Learn to curb your enthusiasm in exchange for consistent gains.
The same goes for sleep. Too few of us get anywhere near enough and as a result we unknowingly deprive ourselves of results. Growth hormone is released while you sleep, so this is an important time. Pack in eight hours each night and you have this base covered.
So there you have it. We recently gave five tips showing you how to lose weight and keep it off, today we focus on how to build muscle and you'll notice the tips are no more difficult. Apply these to your current training routine and you'll see great returns on each of the steps.
