If you are like most guys, you're probably lost in the gym. While most people are trying to figure out how to build muscle the truth is hardly any people progress to actually achieving it. Why is that? Today we explain why, as well as showing you the top five tips for building a bigger, leaner physique.
Today you'll get the proven, back-to-basics rules of building a muscular body.
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.
* Learn the basics of Whey Protein and Creatine supplements.
* Your workouts need to focus on hypertrophy rather than endurance.
* Do not neglect to have rest days.
* Sleep is just as important as rest.
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!
Before we wrap up today's write-up, let's take a quick look at some of the principles to ensure you have no gray areas...
In order to get a muscle building diet you must be able to work out how many calories per day your body requires. Too many people get lost at this stage because they believe it has to be an exact science, when it doesn't. To get this ball park figure simply multiply your desired weight, in pounds, by fifteen.
You can spend a fortune in the supplement market each month if you're not careful. Every product claims to be necessary. The key word to remember is supplement. It should never replace nutrition from your diet, so keep your tubs to an absolute minimum to avoid confusion and unnecessary spending. Whey protein and creatine monohydrate are a solid combination which have stood the test of time, making them the perfect starting blocks.
To write out your workout routine you need to remember two simple things. Firstly, big compound movements like bench press and squat are far more effective at building lean muscle mass than smaller isolation exercises like bicep curls. Secondly, your reps should fall into the hypertrophy zone and avoid the endurance zone. This means using a weight on every set which causes you to stop after 8-12 reps.
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.
