The Surest And Fastest Way To Build Muscle

By Emmanuel Palmer


Summer is drawing near and you are panicking because you are still as pale and skinny as ever, what do you do? Go out buy a tanning lotion and enroll in your nearest gym as soon as possible. Thus far, in your single-minded mission on the fastest way to build muscle, you are on the right track.

So now you have a new found zest for fitness - or the rediscovered childhood trauma of being made fun of. Either way, you will get the desired results if you want it bad enough. Before we start, it is a good idea to understand the basic principle on how bodies build bigger muscle. See, progressive overload is increasing the amount of weight your body carries - it reacts by building stronger tissues which we now recognized as bigger muscles.

When you start training, have the in-house instructor check the weight load you will be lifting for the exercises you will undertake. Generally, the appropriate weight load is the heaviest one that you can carry until the 8th or 12th rep when your muscles cannot take anymore. If you are training only for the purpose of developing strength lower weights or set of reps are recommended. Perform at least 8-12 reps of 8 sets per muscle area for quicker results.

As you exercise, your muscle tissues get a few tears in it especially when you lift the heavier weights. To speed up the process of repairing these tissues you will need to get in as much protein as you can in your diet. Chicken, fish, lean meat, eggs, nuts, sea food and cheese are excellent, and delicious I might add, sources of protein. Know your recommended protein intake per day by multiplying your lean mass weight (total body weight less the amount of fat) by 2.75.

Experts on bodybuilding vary in their opinions on how much fat one should be allowed to take. If you really want to achieve that massive physique, then include fat in your diet. This boosts muscle building hormones found in your body. Keep an eye on your eating though; if you ever take a long hiatus from working out without modifying your eating habits, you will gain weight without the muscles - read: not a pretty sight. Drink around 10-12 glasses of water a day to fuel your training sessions.

And to save the best for last, one of the best tips to build bigger muscle is sleep. That's right, sleep. Resting helps in muscle development because this is the time the previously mentioned muscle tears gets fixed and mended. Sleep also stimulates blood flow to the muscle tissues, preparing it for future sessions of more pain induced workouts. If you want to speed up muscle development, get quality sleep.

So there it is - easy tips on the fastest way to build muscle. Eat a lot of good food, take plenty of fluids and get a lot of sleep. That doesn't sound too hard right? Check with your physician for any medical conditions you might have so you could avoid the necessary drills. Other than that, you are free to enjoy yourself in your workout. It is a challenging but equally satisfying experience - you will want to come back for more.
