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.
Building a more muscular body is not rocket science.
Today you'll discover the five very easy to follow steps which will lead you to this goal and have you earning the type of physique you currently can only aspire to. By sticking the the proven, fundamental rules of muscle building you will get the best 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.
* You need a muscle building diet.
* Get the basics of supplements down before you get lost.
* Your workouts need to focus on hypertrophy rather than endurance.
* Learn the importance of rest days.
* Make sure you get enough sleep each night.
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!
So let's look at some of the principles in a bit more depth to enable you to get the most from them all...
Most people assume that to get bigger you can just eat whatever you want. You should only do that if you're not bothered what type of size you're adding. If you want to stay lean as you grow, which most guys do, you need to set up a few basic diet rules to begin with. Multiply your target body weight, in pounds, by fifteen and this will give you a ball park figure to aim for each day.
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.
The third rule is an important one, because too many guys in the gym say things like, "I want to lose fat but I want to build muscle, too" and it leads them to having no structure in your workouts. To lose fat you should operate at a deficit, but to build size you should operate at a calorie surplus, so it's decision time guys. If you want to go for size and have built your diet for that goal you need to now structure your rep range specifically for building size, not just toning up. This means an 8-12 rep range, with a focus on big compound exercises.
In the next article we will cover some more of the principles explaining how to build muscle so you can begin getting great, long lasting results from your tough efforts in the gym.
