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.
Better still, you can workout without doubting yourself or your techniques because you know that everything you're doing is scientifically proven to work.
* Your diet should be tailored to building muscle.
* Get the basics of supplements down before you get lost.
* Workout to hit your hypertrophy zone.
* Do not neglect to have rest days.
* Sleep is just as important as rest.
The five principles above basically detail how to get the body you may have always wanted. Follow them, set them at the foundation of your workout regime and reap the results for years to come. You can do more, of course, which will be discussed in future videos. But for now the basics will enable you to stop the plateau you're currently sitting in and push forward once more.
Next we're going to look at some of the steps in a little more depth to clear up any potential mix-ups or confusion because , in the gym, confusion is a results killer.
Most people assume that to get bigger you can just eat whatever you want. You should only do that if you're not bothered what type of size you're adding. If you want to stay lean as you grow, which most guys do, you need to set up a few basic diet rules to begin with. Multiply your target body weight, in pounds, by fifteen and this will give you a ball park figure to aim for each day.
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.
To write out your workout routine you need to remember two simple things. Firstly, big compound movements like bench press and squat are far more effective at building lean muscle mass than smaller isolation exercises like bicep curls. Secondly, your reps should fall into the hypertrophy zone and avoid the endurance zone. This means using a weight on every set which causes you to stop after 8-12 reps.
In the articles following on from this we will look at some more of the principles as well as introducing you to some new ones to keep your results coming along. No more will you have to wonder how to build muscle because, with a little help, you will know.
