If you ask any man in the gym about their long term goal it is highly likely one of those goals will be learning how to build muscle and achieve a more impressive body. Whether it's for our job, our hobby or even for the opposite sex, the fact is most of us are desperate to be a bit leaner. Today we will teach you how to do it.
Before you begin reaping the results your hard earned efforts in the gym deserve, you must first understand what each of these principles means.
* The old classic compound exercises remain the key movements for building lean mass.
* Neglecting to rest your body is like flushing results down the toilet.
* Your eating habits will be just as important to your goals being achieved.
We will run through these tips in a little bit more depth for you now so you are able to hit the weights room full of confidence in your new routine. The first rule points out the importance of making the most of compound exercises.
The main issue with people who want to get bigger in the gym is that they tend to spend too much time doing isolation exercises and not enough time on compound movements. Your compounds are your key to success, so use them as the basis of your session. You may enjoy the bench press, which is a great compound exercise, but the other lifts tend to be neglected in favor of small isolated movements such as bicep curls. Squats, pull ups and shoulder press need more attention here.
That's not to say you should not perform isolation exercises, of course, they are still very useful. Just be sure to build your workout routine around your biggest lifts. By that we mean don't exhaust your chest before you have performed your bench press and don't wipe out your quadriceps before you attempt squats.
Even those who have spent years struggling to put on size find that the task becomes easier when you have a well structured workout laid out ahead of you which allows you to hit the big moves while at full strength and rack up some new personal best records. Be sure not to get carried away with your success though, you don't want to train every single day otherwise you'll only make it more difficult for yourself.
Your efforts in the gym deserve physical results and those results happen during periods of rest. If you go to the gym every day you'll notice it becomes more difficult to see any results because your body isn't being given the recuperation time that it needs. This is easily the most overlooked aspect of training for those looking to get bigger.
Finally we need to speak about your overall diet plan. Try not to make the common mistake of presuming diets are only for those trying to figure out how to lose weight. The food you eat consists of your diet, so regardless of your overall goal, you still have a diet.
Working out the number of calories per day you need is simple, for those who don't know simply multiply your weight in kilograms by 25 and then add another 50% to the total answer.
Getting enough calories is one thing, of course, but it's another thing entirely to get them from the best possible places. All calories are not created equal and you need to pay a little attention to your intake of the three macro nutrients to get the most from your daily eating plan. Try to obtain 30% of your calorie intake from protein, 20% from fat and 50% from carbohydrates.
Thousands of gym members tend to use over complicated theories on how to lose weight or how to build muscle when in truth it's actually very straightforward. That being said, of course, you cannot expect to get results without putting in the work.
