The conventional thing to do is to get a gym membership, buy some protein powders and start lifting weights, isn't it? Then why is it that there are so many guys lifting weights religiously do not have impressive muscles and many actually gave up their quest to be muscular?
Ah, so now you know it does not work that way. This is because there is a lot of science and hard work involved if you really want to get muscles like those of bodybuilders. However, I believe that most people will not want to get that big and so, your job will be much easier if you just want muscles good enough for you to take off your shirt at the beach to impress the girls and be a beach hunk.
So here are two ways for you to pack on spectacular muscles on your frame real fast!
Workouts For Muscle Mass Gain - Two of the most important workouts to pack on impressive muscle mass on your entire body frame is The Squat And The Deadlift. Strangely, most people in the gym are not doing these excercises, but are concentrating on puny exercises like bicep curls or triceps kickbacks. I bet you that they won't get big if they do not incorporate The Squat and Deadlift into their workout routine.
The mere fact that each of these two exercises work out about 75% of your entire musculature speaks volumes about its effectiveness as a mass builder. Compare this with the dumbbell curls which work only on your biceps and forearm.
Furthermore, because so many body parts are being worked out at the same time, you will be lifting heavier with more intensity. This will force your body to release greater amount of your natural human growth hormone and testosterone which are important hormones for muscle building and cellular repairs. The result from these hormonal spurts will result in bigger muscles all over your body.
The Deadlift and Squats are classified under the category of compound exercises. Compound exercises are workouts with movements on two or more joints. The more joints that are involved in an exercise, the more muscle fibers and body parts get involved. The more muscle fibers and body parts are involved, the more muscle you are building.
If you ever hope to get grow bigger muscles all over your body, then compound exercises are non negotiable because they are mandatory for massive growth. So your workout program must include compound exercises like deadlifts, squats, bench presses, barbell rows, pull ups, chin ups, military presses and dips. If you are focusing on isolation exercises like bicep curls and triceps kickbacks, then you will end up with exactly what you focus on, puny muscles!
45 Minute Workout - If you are working out with compound exercises with great intensity and focus, you would have worked out your entire body within 45 minutes. It is then time for you to pack up and gulp down your protein shake along with a good balanced nutrient filled meal to feed your muscles.
Another reason for packing up is that by 45 minutes, with the intensity you are working out with, your body is under tremendous stress. The hormone cortisol is produced when you are under stress and this hormone is detrimental to your muscle building effort as its rise with suppress your testosterone production and the hormone also helps to store body fat.
Just by following these two big muscle building tips and getting rest days in between your workouts, you will be a muscular hunk in no time. See you at the beach soon.
