If you are confused as to how to build muscle in the gym, today's post is specifically for you. Seriously, drop everything and read these tips. Because alongside how to lose weight effectively, this is undoubtedly the number one topic we're quizzed on at the gym by customers.
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) Tailor Your Workouts.
4) The Importance Of Rest.
5) Get Enough Sleep.
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.
You're trying to build a physique the right way, after all, and there are two ways to get bigger we all know that.
The first thing you need to be, even before you hit the gym, is to sort out the basics of your eating regime. That's right, getting your diet laid out in stone is more important. Today's video shows how it's done.
Rule number two is about knowing your supplements. Too often, people are all too quick to take a product without truly knowing what they're actually putting into their body, what it's supposed to be doing for them or why they even need it.
The key word to remember here is supplement. It's intended to be an extra. Be sure to get the majority of your diet from the food you eat rather than the sports supplements you use. A decent whey protein and some creatine monohydrate is all you need.
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.
Rest is the most overlooked rule. Once you begin enjoying your training you don't want to take a day off, understandably. But the truth is you hinder yourself if you train too much, particularly with this type of long-term goal. Beware of over-training.
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.
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.
