Depending how long you have been a member of a gym you may have already encountered the madness which ensues when you ask anybody for tips on how to build muscle fast. This also occurs when you bring up the topic of how to lose weight of course. Nobody tells you the same thing twice and everybody swears that their way is the right way. Right now you're going to find out the facts and they are a lot simpler than you might be thinking.
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) Change Your Diet To Gain Size And Strength.
2) Understand Supplements Before Using Them.
3) Structure Your Workouts To Your Goal.
4) Rest Your Muscles.
5) Get Enough Sleep.
These foundations are used by bodybuilders, athletes and newcomers alike. They work, there's no question about it. The first rule concerns your diet. Most people don't watch what they eat when trying to bulk up and in return they look nothing like what they set out to achieve.
You're trying to build a physique the right way, after all, and there are two ways to get bigger we all know that.
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.
People also have a laid back approach when it comes to supplements. They're sold on hype. So many gym users take a protein or another product because they liked the promises on the packaging about what it would do. Take a few seconds to learn the basics on supplements so you can spot a good one from a bad one, otherwise you'll be constantly jumping between products.
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.
Sleep is also important, as your body releases it's stores of natural growth hormone during this type. Fail to get enough sleep and you don't let this happen, obviously. Aim for 6-8 hours every night.
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.
