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.
Every day we are asked by gym members for tips on this subject and there are 3 questions which people appear to have more confusion with. We have answered them below for you...
* How many repetitions should you do?
* What foods are best for this type of program?
* How often should you train for maximum results?
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.
Should you already be successfully hitting the hypertrophy zone the next step is slotting in proven techniques to increase the difficulty further. Drop sets and pyramids are just two solid examples of this.
Believe it or not, more people get lost with their diet than with their training. So the next section is devoted to showing you how to create a simple but effective diet plan.
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.
While you could spend your time counting every single calorie in all of the food you eat, you will more than likely just drive yourself insane and remove any fun from your daily diet making it impossible to stick to. Instead, the 3-5-2 concept is simple and loose, allowing you to make allowances where you feel necessary. With 30% of your calories arriving from sources of protein, 50% carbohydrate and 20% from fat you will have a rock solid and trustworthy foundation to build from.
Taking a day off from your training is a very important step to take. Most of us misunderstand the importance of rest days, we become slightly addicted to the feeling we get from training especially when we start seeing results. It is key to your progress that you allow your body time to recover.
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.
