After three to four months of a workout program you will usually hit a plateau. Today we are going to explain how to build muscle effectively and continuously, bursting through that plateau and pushing yourself to a new personal best.
The easy part of building a more muscular physique is realizing you need to work out. Sadly, that's as far as most people get in terms of research and knowledge. There are a few other things which you will need to do to maximize results for yourself and today we will reveal them to you.
The reason so many folks get nowhere is that they are constantly getting conflicting information. Most people have encountered this situation, so if you have people trying to alter your training routine with various tips you are certainly not alone. What this situation can do if you're not careful, however, is hold you back severely. Sometimes you need to go back to the old classics to get consistent progress.
There are three questions we are asked in the gym more than any others when it comes to building size and strength. They are as follows...
* How many repetitions should you do?
* What foods are best for this type of program?
* How often should you train each muscle?
Instead of performing rep after rep in your next workout try to get specific with your goals. If you aim for around twenty reps you will be hitting your muscular endurance zone and if you're trying to build size you aren't going to do it effectively with that way of training. Instead, aim for eight reps in most of your sets.
If you have already been achieving the right reps you should also try incorporating proven building techniques like super sets and drop sets.
If you need some help with your diet don't worry, you are in the right place. We are going to show you the basics of a good building diet which will allow you to add size but also ensure it's not fat.
Diets aren't just for girls and people looking to lose weight. The sooner you realize that fact, the sooner you will be able to get your results back on track. Most people don't just want to get bigger, they want to remain quite toned in doing so.
You do not need to watch every single calorie, of course, but having a rough idea of what to eat is an advantage. The 3-5-2 concept has proven most effective and will keep you on the right track. Try to split your calories between 30% protein, 50% carbohydrate and 20% fat. That simple idea is the basis of a solid building diet.
The most overlooked aspect of training is rest. You should try to avoid going to the gym every day, the more rest you allow your body the chance to grow. So be sure to pack in a few days of kicking back from your training. If it proves hard to resist the urge to go workout, think of a rest day as a day of growth.
These are three of the most important steps teaching you how to build muscle and retain it. Each of the steps is backed up with scientific research and if you are able to incorporate them into your current routine you will notice increased results.
