subject: A Beginner's Guide towards Muscle Growth [print this page] Now that you have decided to gain muscle, the next stop is to understand the way in which this muscle growth will take place. For newcomers who have muscular body as they aim, should focus more on technique and diet rather than try to imitate their idols and fellow body building enthusiasts.
There are some mistakes which are common with amateurs but can be easily resolved with a good reality check and common sense. Below are some steps which will help you in your quest for the ultimate physique through highly popular muscle gain exercises.
Avoid False Expectations
First and foremost, never ever expect to attain that beefy wrestler type of physique in a short span of time. Many companies promise to help you look ripped in record time; they even give a trial period with money back guarantee. But in reality, there is absolutely no healthy way to look ripped in a short span. This false expectation is the reason many body building enthusiasts stop exercising as the promised muscle growth fails to appear.
Focus on your Diet
No doubt, muscle growth is directly proportional to the exercise you do in the gym, but if you understand the process of muscle growth, you will know that bad diet will eventually ruin your efforts. Eating fatty foods and sweets helps you grow your tummy and not your muscles. Consult a professional dietician or talk with you gym trainer and try to follow the diet.
Stick to the Basics
There are many variations available with new equipment hitting the body building industry every day, but the important of basic exercises like curls, pull ups, squats will never change.
Exercise for Muscle Growth and not to Impress
It is accepted that in the end, muscle growth is for flaunting purposes but during the process it is advised to be mean enough to exercise for yourself and not for others to see. It is understood that flaunting muscles boosts your male ego but in reality, you need to be mature enough to understand what is important in the long run.
Lastly, every one of us as a different level of metabolism and genetics so stop comparing your muscle growth with fellow body builders and wrestling superstars.
