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.
Let us begin by assuring you it isn't as hard as if sounds.
Too many people are hasty in the gym and, in a bid for quick results, they overlook the most important factors in favor of spending their hard earned cash on unnecessary aids which don't do anything for them in terms of results.
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.
* Your diet should be tailored to building muscle.
* Keep your supplements minimal to begin with.
* Your workouts need to focus on hypertrophy rather than endurance.
* Rest days need to take priority.
* Sleeping is great for muscle building results so don't sell yourself short here.
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!
Next we're going to look at some of the steps in a little more depth to clear up any potential mix-ups or confusion because , in the gym, confusion is a results killer.
You'll probably be shocked to realize how easy it is to work out your diet. It is often over complicated needlessly. Simply take your chosen body weight target, in pounds, and multiply the figure by 15. This will give you a target muscle building calorie goal to aim for every day. That was simple, wasn't it? Let's move on.
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.
Next you have to build your workout plan. Again, this is a lot easier than most people end up making it out to be. Keep the main focus, in terms of exercises, on the big compound movements which make it far easier to build muscle mass and strength. So you should be performing Bench Presses, Squats, Deadlifts and so on. As for reps you just need to ensure you fall into the hypertrophy zone, which means each set calls for 8-12 repetitions. If you feel like you could blast past 12 increase the weight for the following set.
Suddenly you find yourself armed with the knowledge most gym members lack. Before long you'll probably be telling others the principles of how to build muscle effectively. We will publish more articles in future which also look at more principles to use in the gym but for now get a good understanding of the five revealed above.
