As a personal trainer it's easy to read the things in fitness publications and wonder why so many people are lost when it comes to figuring out how to build muscle in the gym. The truth is it's needlessly over complicated. Today we'll be showing you the basic rules to help put you on the right track.
Better still, we're going to teach you in a way that you can actually understand everything!
As a fitness instructor I know that most trainers like to over-complicate explanations and they often lose their client in a whirlwind of science that they struggle to follow. In my opinion this is bad teaching, because if your client cannot follow your advice it's pointless giving it to them in the first place. So don't worry, you won't get lost here.
When it comes to packing on lean muscle there are a few rules which will keep you in the right direction.
The first step is to correct your sleeping patterns. Many people are shocked to discover that some of the rules to a bigger body don't even revolve around the gym. You can start by ensuring you get at least eight hours rest each night, the release of growth hormone will work wonders for your results.
Supplementing the fact that your sleeping is now in perfect working order for gains in the gym you should now be looking to ensure your body is getting enough rest. You can't grow if your don't let it happen, after all. The next time you see somebody training every day and wondering why they aren't seeing results you'll know why it's happening. Don't let it happen to you.
Now we hit the gym and the focus shifts to your training program. There is no way you're going to pack on lean size if your training plan isn't specific to your goal. That means ditching the lax approach to your routine and trying to get a solid plan together which allows you to concentrate on your goal, nothing else. Eight-to-twelve reps is best for hypertrophy, that's the golden rule.
When it comes to the exercises, too, you should have your strength and size goal firmly in your mind as you write out your exercise program. By putting more emphasis on large compound movements you will enjoy greater results. This is because the larger exercises such as deadlift and squat recruit more muscle fibres than small isolation movements like lateral raises. Keep this in mind as you write your program out.
Diet is also critical. Incredibly, most guys assume they can just drink a protein shake and it'll be sufficient. It will not, of course. We're sure that when you say you wish to build a bigger physique you don't mean piling on the weight and becoming fat. Your diet needs to reflect your goals no matter whether you're trying to lose weight or add lean mass.
The confusion surrounding how to build muscle can be answered with the simple steps in today's article. No personal trainer or college professor needed. You should now be well on your way to seeing some quality results in the gym!
