So you have been hitting the gym hard for a few months and although you got results quite fast you've noticed they have began to slow down. Relax, this is a situation every gym user encounters. The sad thing is most of them don't know how to get out of it. We're going to you straight back on track and teach you how to build muscle with proven techniques.
Depending how much research you have done, you may already be aware that in order to force progress from your body you need to be very consistent in your efforts in the gym. But hitting the gym is the easy part and today we shall show you the bits which the majority of people overlook.
The most ridiculous aspect of the health and fitness industry is the amount of conflicting advice out there. Particularly online, which is a virtual mix and match bag of completely different theories. This leads to so many people becoming incredibly lost with their fitness that they just have no clue where to start. In order to get consistent results it's a good idea to get the basics down first.
When it comes to building programs there are a few questions which pop up a lot more than any others. Those are listed for you below...
* How many repetitions should you do?
* What foods are best for this type of program?
* Do you need to train every day or not?
The optimal zone for stimulating lean tissue growth is between eight and twelve reps for most exercises. This means you do not need to spend the countless high repetition sets on most exercises, particularly your big compound lifts, so make the most of this knowledge and begin applying it right now. You should see results from this method very quickly.
If you have already been achieving the right reps you should also try incorporating proven building techniques like super sets and drop sets.
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.
The majority of us presume that diets are for girls, of course, and we don't need to watch what we eat if we are trying to get bigger. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, unless you're striving for a power lifter type physique you should be paying attention to your food.
You do not need to watch every single calorie, of course, but having a rough idea of what to eat is an advantage. The 3-5-2 concept has proven most effective and will keep you on the right track. Try to split your calories between 30% protein, 50% carbohydrate and 20% fat. That simple idea is the basis of a solid building diet.
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.
Should you be stuck at a plateau and unable to figure out how to build muscle on a more consistent basis you are now armed with the key facts on making you dream come true. Years of science support each of the three steps given today, so you can hit the gym with confidence!
