How To Grow Muscles

How to grow muscles is a question that many people would like answered. There are quite a few essential ingredients needed for muscle growth but today I will cover the best exercise methods for building muscle & strength in the quickest time. Everything you need to know about muscle growth can be found at the end of this article. For maximum muscle mass & strength gains we need three things in our exercise program:

COMPOUND FREE WEIGHT EXERCISES

HEAVY WEIGHT

GOOD FORM.

While it's true we can stimulate muscle growth & strength using machines I believe compound fee weight exercises to be the best choice for building muscle mass fast. Compound exercises move the body though more than one joint movement where as isolation exercises only move the body through one single joint movement. Squats, bench press, military press & dead lifts are all examples of compound exercises. When we perform a compound exercise it forces the body into using other muscles, take the bench press for example, if using dumbbells to perform the bench press with the main objective of training the chest muscle we will have to bring into play secondary muscles such as the triceps & shoulder to stabilise the weight resulting in more muscles being worked.

Lets talk about using heavy weights, when I say heavy this dose not mean a specific weight as a weight that feels heavy to you may not feel heavy to me so we need to find a weight where we reach muscle failure around the 8th rep. I try to reach around 8 reps, if I can go past 8 reps then the weight is to light & I need to add more. Overloading the muscle by reaching failure at the 8th rep stimulates the muscle to create hypertrophy. What dose "hypertrophy" mean? It's a fancy word for muscle growth.

The two main reasons we need to use good form when performing an exercise is to avoid injury & to properly stimulate the correct muscle by keeping the muscle under sufficient tension. We do this by performing the exercises in a slow & controlled manner.

Example of bad form: Someone performing the bench press with a barbell, bring the weight down to fast allowing the bar to bounce off the chest. Performing the set like this will not fully work the muscle as the weight will be given extra momentum on the way up by letting it bounce off the chest. Another example of bad form I see all the time when people are performing bicep curls they seem to swing the weigh up using their whole body, this kind of form will only hinder your gains & result in an injury through jerking & swinging the weight around in awkward motion.

To sum up, perform 90% of your workout using heavy compound free weights with good form to gain maximum muscle mass in the quickest time.
