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.
While many people spend their time searching for over complicated, impossible to follow diet and training systems the truth is the basic old-school rules still work best when applied to this type of long-term goal.
1) Diet To Build.
2) Stick To Basic Supplements.
3) Tailor Your Workouts.
4) The Importance Of Rest.
5) Sleeping Is Now Part Of Your Training.
The five rules are very basic and, strangely, very easily overlooked in favor of needlessly more complicated techniques. Simply put, these are proven to work and have stood the test of time on the gym floor. Rule number one is about diet. That's right, you still need to diet if your goal is adding size and strength.
That's why when they do add size it's the type of size they didn't necessarily want, i.e. 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.
Tip three is about your time in the gym. If you want to get bigger, you need to train bigger. That doesn't necessarily mean longer, either. Stick to the hardcore basic exercises such as Deadlifts and Pull Ups. These multi-joint exercises are spectacular for building up strength and size.
Resting your muscles is very important, too. Most of us get hooked on the feeling of getting results in the gym and don't want to skip days. While that's great, it's actually holding you back. Learn to curb your enthusiasm in exchange for consistent gains.
The same goes for sleep. Too few of us get anywhere near enough and as a result we unknowingly deprive ourselves of results. Growth hormone is released while you sleep, so this is an important time. Pack in eight hours each night and you have this base covered.
