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.
Also, we'll avoid the type of scientific jargon which usually just alienates people and leaves them feeling confused!
As a fitness instructor I know that most trainers like to over-complicate explanations and they often lose their client in a whirlwind of science that they struggle to follow. In my opinion this is bad teaching, because if your client cannot follow your advice it's pointless giving it to them in the first place. So don't worry, you won't get lost here.
When it comes to packing on lean muscle there are a few rules which will keep you in the right direction.
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.
By the time you actually hit the gym you'll already be on your way to improving your results if you apply the first two rules. When you get to the gym you need to lose the silly approach of not really focusing on any particular type of training. In order to enjoy maximum hypertrophy (growth) you need to aim for eight-to-twelve repetitions in order to get best results. It's a system you cannot go wrong with.
Sometimes we all get lost in the wide variety of exercises available to you. Which exercises work best for size? The basics work best. That's right, bench press is still the best chest building exercise, squat is the best leg building exercise, pull ups are the best back building exercise and so on. The movements we trainers call compound exercises are the ones which should be the primary focus of your workout session plan.
Your diet will also play a key role. Remember it isn't just about adding size, you want to add the right kind of size. By adjusting your diet accordingly you can ensure that you not only grow but keep your gains lean. Most people who attempt to bulk up simply eat everything in sight. That's a good concept if you aren't bothered what type of 'massive' you achieve.
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!
