5 Tips for Effective Muscle Building
Proper diet and weight training exercises are the key components to achieving fast and consistent gains in muscle mass. Any lack of results you may be experiencing are due to either improper diet or the wrong set of exercises in the wrong order.
Once you learn these 5 principles, there will be no reason why you can't put on an extra pound of muscle each week.
1. Eat More Protein
Your muscles will grow larger as a result of the amount of protein you store. The thing is, your body is rapidly draining the protein it stores for other uses and this leaves less protein available for building muscle. This is why you have to build and store new protein faster than your body breaks down the old protein.
2. Eat Enough
The simple rule of thumb to be sure you are eating enough protein is to make sure you consume one gram for each pound of body weight every day. For example, if you weigh 180 pounds you should eat 180 grams every single day. You will also want to add at least 500 extra calories to your daily caloric intake for your first two weeks and add even more if needed after that trial period.
3. Bigger Muscle Groups are The Focus
You will see the most muscle gains the fastest if you place the majority of your focus on the largest muscle groups and do the exercises in 2 to 3 sets of about 8 to 12 reps each, with only a short resting period in between each. Common exercises that target mainly the largest muscle groups are of course squats, dips, bench presses and pull ups. This will maximize your weight gain potential.
4. Rest A Day After Each Training
Your muscles will grow when your resting not in the gym. Each day you perform your workout routine follow that day by a day of rest.
5. Carbs While Resting
Increasing your carbohydrate intake with snacks such as peanut butter or bananas will slow the rate at which your body metabolizes protein, making it more available to your recuperating muscles. - 17273
