subject: Quick Ways To Build Muscle [print this page] There are a number of factors that go towards building muscle and exploding growth.
Eat Right - Proper nutrition to fuel workouts and enhance muscle growth. Most people know that protein is the primary fuel when it comes to building muscle but how much to eat and what is often the problem. The correct and healthy way to feed one's body for maximum muscle growth is to eat less more often and to eat foods that are high in protein and low in saturated fats and sugars. Eating less more often means instead of eating 3 big meals a day, eat 6 smaller meals at closer intervals and drink plenty of water. Carbohydrates are good as long as they are consumed in moderation and are burned up with exercise.
Lift Weights - A solid weight lifting and workout program designed to increase muscle mass. Increase the size of the weight and perform less than 10 reps on each and every exercise. Reduce workout time by performing more work in less time. Perform one exercise per muscle group instead at hammering away at one muscle group and destroying it. Too many people simply continue the same workout program each and every week without the concept of progress. This will not help in building muscle. Knowing precisely how much weight can be handled and then making incremental increases over time to spark muscle growth is the key way to gain muscle fast. Every 2 weeks increase strength by 5% at least. Focus on about a 5 % increase every 2 months. That way in 6 months strength should be doubled. For say, currently if the benching rate is 140 lbs aim for 280 lbs within a few months. This is one of the key ways to build muscles quick.
Rest - Sufficient rest and recovery to allow time for muscle growth and repair. Most muscle growth occurs outside the gym and that is why rest is so important. Training with weights cause microscopic tears to the muscle tissue, if time is not allowed between workouts for muscles to repair the damage and grow, then its over-trained and can completely tear or rupture the muscle.
Lastly it takes dedication, commitment or desire to follow the program as it is laid out. If one wants to build muscle fast and develop a great looking body, it takes right attitude and dedication into achieving this goal!
