7 Jun 2009Have you failed at your muscle building efforts? Most people have trouble building muscle mass. Building muscle is a mystery to most people. Some weight lifters will go to the gym repeatedly and do the same thing. They continue doing the same thing with no results. Why? Stop wasting your time in the gym and start using this powerful muscle building concept discussed in this article.
Building muscle doesn’t ‘just’ help you look much better. Muscle improves your appearance, and we all want that, but do you know the true benefit of greater amounts of muscle mass? Can you imagine feeling 100 times better? Imagine high energy levels when you wake up. Imagine not feeling down or tired any more. Body fat weighs you down while muscle mass helps your body. You need more muscle and less body fat. Then you’ll feel better!
If you’ve been looking for the secret to building muscle, you’re lucky you decided to read this article. If you apply the powerful concept I’m going to tell you about in just a minute, you will begin to get very fast results. Here you go:
The first thing you’ve got to do is start a weight training program. The second step you must take is eat the correct foods and the proper amount of those foods. Diet and nutrition is vital, but I want to discuss a powerful method that relates to your weightlifting program.
Start your next weight lifting program with very light weights. I don’t care how easy the set may be. Do higher reps starting out with lighter weights. I then want you to increase the weight each workout while decreasing the number of reps. For example, you could start out lifting 95 pounds for 15 reps and end your program with 305 pounds for 4 reps. That huge weight increase over the weeks will ensure that you’ve built plenty of muscle as long as you’re body isn’t accustomed to those weight loads.
This allows you to constantly provide your body with a muscle building stimulus. This means you get quick results from each and every weightlifting workout when you eat correctly and optimize your rest from each weight lifting session. You begin to see results and huge increases in muscle size.
You will reach a point in time in which you won’t be able to increase the weight you are lifting. Progress will stall when you reach that point. So what do you do? If you’re having trouble on most of your exercises, you should take a full one week break from strenuous activity. This allows your body to fully recover from the beating you’ve given it over the last few months. The you can start another cycle with slightly heavier weights that your previous cycle. Then start increasing the weight again.
In order to build muscle with this powerful concept, you have to focus on gaining weight each week. But you want this weight to be muscle and not body fat, right? You must focus on eating the proper foods. Have 6 meals each day, and make sure you’re drinking enough water and eating plenty of veggies. You should always strive to gain about 1 to 2 pounds of muscle each week. I recommend 1 pound of muscle per week as any more than that will be body fat, and you don’t want that. Be patient. One pound per week is 52 pounds each year!
