5 Tips for Effective Muscle Building
Eric W. Bricker | March 24, 2010Weight training is the most important aspect of consistent muscle gain. If you are performing the wrong exercises or eating the wrong diet then you are probably experiencing a lack of results as many do when they first begin their workout routine.
Weekly gains of one pound of muscle should be your standard results if you learn and follow these 5 simple fundamentals of weight training.
1. Build and Store Proteins Faster
Rapid muscle growth burns through way more protein than your body can store. The process of building new muscle uses up whatever protein is immediately available to the body. Since the body is incapable of storing protein for any length of time you must eat more protein than your body is using on a daily basis.
2. Eat More
Eat about 1 gram of protein per body weight each day. So if you weight 170 pounds you should consume about 170 grams of protein a day. You also have to increase your calorie intake. Consume an extra 500 more calories than you normally would each day. If you don’t gain any weight after about 2 weeks then you have to increase your calories by another 500 a day.
3. Bigger Muscle Groups are The Focus
Exercises like bench presses, dips, pull ups and squats will place the focus mainly on the larger muscle groups resulting in much faster gains in muscle mass. This is especially true if you have been working out for a while already and seem to have reached a plateau. You will also want to be sure to perform these exercises in three sets of twelve repetitions with very short pauses between each one.
4. Rest A Day After Each Training
Your muscles will grow when your resting not in the gym. Each day you perform your workout routine follow that day by a day of rest.
5. Carbs After Workout
Feeding your body carbohydrates on the days your body is resting will slow down the rate your body breaks down protein. Add carbohydrates like bananas or peanut butter to your diet.
Consider using Acai Force Max as a bodybuilding supplement in between workouts for maximum results.
