Most guys in the gym are lost. Lost in a world where it's seemingly impossible to figure out how to build muscle and how to create the type of physique the opposite sex find attractive. Stop guys. The truth is you're probably overlooking to proven basics and it's costing you.
Today you'll get the proven, back-to-basics rules of building a muscular body.
To get the best results we often find that we need to go back to basics and that's exactly where so many gym members go totally wrong. They look for over complicated, often expensive, products and exercise plans when the truth is they could be getting superior results on their own.
You're about to discover the five rules which almost every guy at your local gym would kill to know about, so use them wisely.
* Your diet should be tailored to building muscle.
* Learn the basics of Whey Protein and Creatine supplements.
* Your workouts need to focus on hypertrophy rather than endurance.
* Learn the importance of rest days.
* Sleep is just as important as rest.
The steps shown above reveal what most guys never actually learn. Apply them to your training and you will be shocked just how well they work, even if you have struggled in the past to build a bigger physique. We will move on to showing you further steps, naturally, but for now the first five steps should keep you more than busy!
Before we wrap up today's write-up, let's take a quick look at some of the principles to ensure you have no gray areas...
In order to get a muscle building diet you must be able to work out how many calories per day your body requires. Too many people get lost at this stage because they believe it has to be an exact science, when it doesn't. To get this ball park figure simply multiply your desired weight, in pounds, by fifteen.
When it comes to bodybuilding supplements it is even easier to get lost. There is a lot of money to be made here for companies, so they try their best to tell you their new formula is the greatest thing ever made. This often leads to the market looking soaked, with every product claiming to be the one you need the most. The truth is you can get incredibly far with the absolute basics as far as supplements go. Pack in a good whey protein, couple it with a creatine monohydrate product and you are good to go, my friend.
Next you have to build your workout plan. Again, this is a lot easier than most people end up making it out to be. Keep the main focus, in terms of exercises, on the big compound movements which make it far easier to build muscle mass and strength. So you should be performing Bench Presses, Squats, Deadlifts and so on. As for reps you just need to ensure you fall into the hypertrophy zone, which means each set calls for 8-12 repetitions. If you feel like you could blast past 12 increase the weight for the following set.
Suddenly you find yourself armed with the knowledge most gym members lack. Before long you'll probably be telling others the principles of how to build muscle effectively. We will publish more articles in future which also look at more principles to use in the gym but for now get a good understanding of the five revealed above.
