Why Guys Struggle To Build Muscle

By Russ Howe


The vast majority of male gym users have asked for tips on how to build muscle at some stage or another. For some reason it's rare to see a man that actually achieves the physique he wants and today we're going to reveal why so many of us get lost in the shuffle.

Every day we see men toiling away with the weights and struggling to make advances with their progress. If you're one of them, you're in for a treat today as we reveal the top steps for building a leaner, more muscular physique.

Better still, none of them will cost you anything and you can apply them all right now.

The first step to building a better body starts in the kitchen at home, not in the gymnasium. Before you head off for your next workout try to set some time to one side and allow yourself to write up an eating plan. By ensuring your nutrition is geared towards building the type of physique you're striving for physically you will make your journey far easier.

Sadly, most men (and women, for that matter) do exactly that. One of the top excuses for this being that working out your diet can be confusing. This is simply not true, it's far easier to set up a solid, goal orientated eating plan. The confusion arises because of the amount of hype and quick fix solutions people see on a daily basis, telling them they need to buy certain plans or products in order to get results.

If you take the body weight you wish to be (in pounds) and multiply it by fifteen.

That's how to set your ballpark figure for your daily calorie intake. Don't worry if you are a little bit over or under, we don't want you getting into the habit of calorie counting.

Of course, diet is not the only important thing when it comes to building a better body. Now we'll look at some other contributing factors.

Firstly we need to address your sleeping pattern. Your body releases growth hormone when you are in a state of deep sleep, which usually occurs 2-4 hours into sleep. Needless to say, growth hormone is as good for building size and strength as it sounds so you don't want to miss out by only getting an hour or two in bed each night.

When you're looking at supplements you may be tempted to make the same mistake hundreds of thousands of other guys make and get caught up in all of the exciting sales packaging and marketing talk you see on the products today. With every supplement claiming to be the answer to all of your problems, it's easy to see why a lot of people place too much importance on them.

Keep things simple. A whey protein supplement and a creatine monohydrate supplement is all you need to get started and these are the two bodybuilding supplements with by far the most scientific support behind them.

Most personal trainers can spend hours (and cost lots of money) over-explaining how to build muscle but there you have the five most important rules. Today's lesson should get you started nicely on the right track to building the body you aspire to achieve.
