Ask ten people at the gym how to build muscle and you'll more than likely hear ten different answers, such is the confusion surrounding this often sought after answer. Much like when people ask how to lose weight you'll get the same type of mass hysteria with nobody really knowing what to do. Today we show you exactly what to do.
Today's post will feature five foundations of building lean, fat free tissue. Whether you're looking to become a man-mountain or just simply improve your physique, let's get to work.
1) Change Your Diet To Gain Size And Strength.
2) Stick To Basic Supplements.
3) Structure Your Workouts To Your Goal.
4) Don't Forget To Rest Up.
5) Sleeping Helps You To Grow.
Some of these tips seem like common sense. One and three, for example. But we're amazed by how many people do these wrong. For instance. the first tip is about simply dieting to build rather than dieting to cut. Most people who are trying to get bigger don't even look after their diet. They have a false idea that in order to gain size you just have a post-workout protein shake and then eat whatever you like for the rest of the time.
While you may be striving to add more size to your body, we're pretty sure you don't mean fat.
In order to get bigger but also stay lean you have to diet. In the video we reveal how to work out your ideal diet to add lean tissue without storing lots of fat in the process. This simply works and has stood the test of time.
The second step is to get to know your sports supplements. Most of us use a protein or creatine but most of us don't know anything more other than they're supposed to be good for you, that's it. If you don't know why you're taking something, you should not be taking it. It is that simple.
When it comes to bodybuilding supplements it pays to stick to the proven basics. Creatine and whey protein, for example, are both proven and side effect free. Get the rest of your nutrients from your diet, don't over rely on pills and potions.
Our 3rd step is all about working out. I've lost count of the number of times people have told me they're trying to get bigger and then I see them in the gym doing a routine which is never going to get them there. If you crave size, compound exercises like Squats and Military Presses are your best friend.
You also need to take days off from training to maximize your gains. Rest up to size up, that's our motto. There is no point in training every single day and not letting your body to recover.
Sleeping is also a key ingredient in this type of diet. In order to release growth hormone your body needs to be asleep. If you fail to get enough sleep you sell yourself short. It's that simple.
People are often shocked to discover that the basics of how to build muscle work fat better than the hyped up complex theories put forward by every other gym user. The same goes for those trying to figure out how to lose weight properly, who often encounter the exact same type of confusion. But that's another post. As for gaining size and strength, these tips simply work.
