An Express Guide On The Fastest Way To Build Muscle

By Emmanuel Palmer


Summer is drawing near and you are panicking because you're still as pale and skinny as ever, what do you do? Go out buy a tanning lotion and enroll in your nearest gym as soon as possible. Thus far, in your single-minded mission on the fastest way to build muscle, you are on the right track.

So now you have a new found zest for fitness-or the rediscovered childhood trauma of being made fun of. Either way, you will get the desired results if you want it bad enough. Before we start, it's a good idea to understand the basic principle on how bodies build bigger muscle. See, progressive overload is increasing the amount of weight your body carries-it reacts by building stronger tissues which we now recognized as bigger muscles.

Consult with your personal trainer about the drills you will be doing and the weights you should be carrying. As a rule of thumb, the ideal weight load for you is the one that will enable you to continue lifting until the 8th or 12th rep without losing the correct form. A lower weight load is good enough for strength training but in muscle building we are aiming to push your body to stimulate muscle growth so aim to do at least 8 reps per set and 8 sets per target muscle group.

During exercise, you create little tears in your muscle tissue which will eventually be repaired. To help accelerate this process, ensure that you take a lot of protein rich food in your diet. Great sources of protein are chicken, fish, lean meat and sea food-is it just me or does this sound good? The recommended protein intake you need daily can be computed by multiplying your lean mass weight in kilograms (body weight minus fat) by 2.75.

Experts on bodybuilding vary in their opinions on how much fat one should be allowed to take. If you really want to achieve that massive physique, then include fat in your diet. This boosts muscle building hormones found in your body. Keep an eye on your eating though; if you ever take a long hiatus from working out without modifying your eating habits, you will gain weight sans the muscles-read: not a pretty sight. Drink around 10-12 glasses of water a day to fuel your training sessions.

And to save the best for last, one of the best tips to build bigger muscle-sleep. That's right, sleep. Resting helps in muscle development because this is the time the previously mentioned muscle tears gets fixed and mended. Sleep also stimulates blood flow to the muscle tissues, preparing it for future sessions of more pain induced workouts. If you want to speed up muscle development, get quality sleep.

You just finished reading the simplest and fastest way to build muscle. Eat well, drink well, and sleep well-that doesn't really sound too hard now does it? Make sure that you do not have existing physical conditions that certain drills will aggravate; after that, you are free to make the most out of your training. Enjoy! Working out can be challenging but nothing beats seeing the great physique all that exercising has paid for.
