Learn About The Fastest Way To Build Muscle

By Emmanuel Palmer


Ok, you've had a pretty easy season but now summer's right around the block what are you going to do? Don't shop for big shirts and shorts just yet; maybe you don't even have to. Get enrolled in a gym and find information on the fastest way to build muscle starting right now.

It's good that you are renewing your interest in all things fitness, whatever the motivations might initially be. Let's start with the basic information on how to build bigger muscle for your body. The principle of progressive overload is periodically increasing your body's strength capacity by putting on it higher weight loads over time. Your body responds by creating stronger tissue-hence the commencement of muscle development.

Consult with your personal trainer about the drills you will be doing and the weights you should be carrying. As a rule of thumb, the ideal weight load for you is the one that will enable you to continue lifting until the 8th or 12th rep without losing the correct form. A lower weight load is good enough for strength training but in muscle building we are aiming to push your body to stimulate muscle growth so aim to do at least 8 reps per set and 8 sets per target muscle group.

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 have differing opinions on the amount of fat bodybuilders need in their diet. If you want a really big body, then include fatty food in your meals. This actually helps to increase muscle building hormones in the body. Be sure to closely watch your diet because should you ever decide to take a break from exercise without changing your diet; your weight gain will take on an unattractive appearance. Make it a point to drink at least 10-12 glasses a day especially during workouts to sustain your stamina.

And last but definitely not the least; build bigger muscle by getting quality sleep. You read right, sleep is a very important and often overlooked factor in physical development. When you exercise and get tears in your muscles, a good rest work to repair these tissues effectively giving you bigger and stronger muscles. Sleep also stimulates blood flow to the other muscles, preparing it for the next day.

You just finished reading the simplest and fastest way to build muscle. Eat well, drink well, and sleep well-that doesn't really sound too hard now does it? Make sure that you do not have existing physical conditions that certain drills will aggravate; after that, you are free to make the most out of your training. Enjoy! Working out can be challenging but nothing beats seeing the great physique all that exercising has paid for.
