The Ultimate Steps To Muscle Building
Practically, anyone can claim a system to be the "ultimate", the same way I believe the following steps to be the ultimate. But what really spells the success of any means or any process is your determination. You may have the best and the most expensive muscle-building program ever developed, but if you lack it, you will not get anywhere near your goal.
It starts with the food you eat...
Many people are quality-conscious about the stuffs they buy, like clothes, jewelries, gadgets... but not as much about the food they eat. The results are fats and all the diseases associated with the unhealthy lifestyle. Since you have an extraordinary aim to build muscle, you must be extra careful with the food you eat and pay close attention to your calorie level from your intake of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
Take note of this simple breakdown: protein and carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram; fat contains 9 calories per gram. It is obvious that fat contains more than twice the calories of protein and carbohydrates. So while most foods have protein, carbohydrates and fat in them, it pays to check if your calorie level is within the recommended or a desired weight threshold. It is essential that you achieve an above-average nutrition early on, so your body is properly attuned to the rigors of muscle building.
To be or not to be in a gym...
Before signing a costly contract with a gym, it is always good to know that you have a home alternative, which needless to say is much cheaper. You can search for good home workouts (that I won't be promoting here). A good yoga program can be great. The real issue here is where you will be able to work out - and when.
If you can set aside time to go to a gym, then fine. If not, then probably working out at home will do. Therefore, you will need to purchase home fitness equipment, which is a good, lifetime investment. But make sure you have thoroughly weighed the advantages and disadvantages of doing a gym or a home workout, before you take the decision. Remember, whatever your choice is, the rest would really depend on your resolve to do this herculean task. Let me stress again that you will be better prepared if you already observe good nutrition.
So you really want to do this...
Last but not the least, you need a workout plan. Again, this would depend on your ability to stick to the plan. A plan enables you to track your progress - and to troubleshoot should something go wrong. It is your body, and you must see to it that anything you do with it is according to a grand design. Do you simply want big muscles that aren't proportionate to your body mass, and makes you uncomfortable? Or you want to be admired for having sculpted such an amazingly handsome physique?
Visualize what you want to achieve for your body. Know more about muscle building. Read stories of real people who have achieved their dream bodies. Learn from their experiences. Seek out and compare the programs they used. You can't simply try everything. You must determine what suits you in order to avoid the potential problems of a workout that doesn't work out.
To cite an example, repeating the same muscle movements over and over may lead to injuries like tendinitis (inflammation of a tendon), shin splints (leg pains) and never-ending muscle soreness. You must vary your workouts to avoid problems. Lift weights now, run on a treadmill later. You will never be aware of these things without a plan.
These are just simple steps, yet with your burning desire to build muscle and the seriousness to follow each step completely, these may just be what you ultimately need in your quest for a healthy and incredible physique.
