If you're currently attending the gym there is probably one question on your lips and that is how to build muscle so today we're going to explain it for you. Better still, we're going to teach your the rules to a bigger physique. Stick to these and you will not go wrong.
Furthermore, we'll write today's article in our trademark jargon-free style to ensure nothing gets lost in translation!
When I'm working in the gym as a fitness instructor I know that the majority of fitness trainers like to get way too in-depth with their clients. Usually you can see that the customer has lost interest and is merely nodding along or regretting that they asked the question in the first place. We don't feel the need to pat ourselves on the back for our knowledge of the human body, we're here to train you and if you cannot understand the instructions it's not going to work no matter how much we may know, right? We can't understand why some 'experts' do that, so the one thing we can guarantee here is that you will not lose track.
So if you're goal is to pack on lean size you're in the right place. The following rules will help you.
The first step is to correct your sleeping patterns. Many people are shocked to discover that some of the rules to a bigger body don't even revolve around the gym. You can start by ensuring you get at least eight hours rest each night, the release of growth hormone will work wonders for your results.
Once that is in check you can move onto the next step which, again, has nothing to do with the gym itself. Now we focus on rest. The importance of rest cannot be understated, therefore it is highly recommended that you make sure to let your body rest when training for size and strength. Days off are just as important as training days.
Next we focus on the need to alter your training schedule to reflect your goals. After all, there is little point in going to the gym and firing out rep after rep if your goal is to get bigger. You need to adapt your training to a program which has your goal in mind. Strength training is performed best when you target your repetitions at an eight-to-twelve rep zone rather than performing hours of lighter weights, which are better suited to those looking to shoot for endurance over size.
When it comes to the exercises, too, you should have your strength and size goal firmly in your mind as you write out your exercise program. By putting more emphasis on large compound movements you will enjoy greater results. This is because the larger exercises such as deadlift and squat recruit more muscle fibres than small isolation movements like lateral raises. Keep this in mind as you write your program out.
Diet is also critical. Incredibly, most guys assume they can just drink a protein shake and it'll be sufficient. It will not, of course. We're sure that when you say you wish to build a bigger physique you don't mean piling on the weight and becoming fat. Your diet needs to reflect your goals no matter whether you're trying to lose weight or add lean mass.
So if you're still wondering how to build muscle now you know the difference between those running around the gym with no results to show for it and those who seem to get results without ever stalling or hitting a plateau. The best part? You didn't even have to hire a personal trainer to find out!
