By Emmanuel Palmer


I know you've heard it before and have said it once or twice with tears in your eyes, 'No Pain, No Gain'. It is the courageous cry of those yet to see the peaks of Mt. Body Beautiful. It is true that you will experience pain, at times almost rendering you immovable from your bed; however, pay close attention that it is pain caused only by muscle soreness. In your zeal to put checks in your list on how to build muscles, be mindful of some factors listed below to help keep your body free from injury and unnecessary pain.

When one is starting out this exciting, adrenalin pumping journey to fitness-a common mistake is to hit the gym too often. Over training has caused many to get burnt out quickly. More than that, the immune system will suffer and the risk of injury to the joints and bones are greater. Go to the gym a few days but take most of the days of the week to concentrate on getting quality rest and just relax. It will surprise you how much better you will be because of it.

For those aiming to gain a significant amount of body mass to get that bodybuilder's physique, many 'How to Build Muscles' guide will discourage you from practicing cardiovascular workouts. You will need to gain more weight than lose them in burning, but do not take away aerobic exercises from your weight training routines. Cardiovascular training helps in your arteries' elasticity and improves your cholesterol levels. Build your muscles and your heart's health as well.

Take extra precautions in your stay in the gym. When you finish using a machine, ensure that the weight plates, pulleys and cables are locked or safely tucked away. Also bring the dumbbells you've used back to their appropriate racks. Watch your head when you pass by certain equipments, especially those with extended bars attached to them. Wear suitable attire and footwear; and give the other trainers space when they are performing their exercise programs.

When you are training, always maintain the correct form and position in which your drills should be executed in. Do not hurry through the reps just so you can finish the set. Compromising may mean serious injury with far reaching consequences in certain body parts. Know the correct way of doing the exercises and perform it, first with lower weights working your way up. If you think that you are over extending a certain joint or tendon, stop and call the gym instructor for help.

And of course, have the proper diet to help boost the productivity of your workout regimens. Eating right can also accelerate muscle development. Depending on your weight goal, your meals should get their calories from healthy food rich in protein and carbohydrates like lean meat, fish, whole wheat grains, etc. Take plenty of water and fluids, particularly on days that you train.

Attend to the seemingly minor details like such and find renewed power in your weight training routines. Quality rest, food and exercise-living well should not be that hard to do.
