Increasing Your Muscle Mass With 5 Simple Steps

By Russ Howe


Ask ten people at the gym how to build muscle and you'll more than likely hear ten different answers, such is the confusion surrounding this often sought after answer. Much like when people ask how to lose weight you'll get the same type of mass hysteria with nobody really knowing what to do. Today we show you exactly what to do.

Today's post will feature five foundations of building lean, fat free tissue. Whether you're looking to become a man-mountain or just simply improve your physique, let's get to work.

1) Diet To Build.

2) Know Your Supplements.

3) Your Workouts Need To Be Strength And Size Focused.

4) Don't Forget To Rest Up.

5) Sleeping Helps You To Grow.

Some of these tips seem like common sense. One and three, for example. But we're amazed by how many people do these wrong. For instance. the first tip is about simply dieting to build rather than dieting to cut. Most people who are trying to get bigger don't even look after their diet. They have a false idea that in order to gain size you just have a post-workout protein shake and then eat whatever you like for the rest of the time.

That's why when they do add size it's the type of size they didn't necessarily want, i.e. fat.

In order to get bigger but also stay lean you have to diet. In the video we reveal how to work out your ideal diet to add lean tissue without storing lots of fat in the process. This simply works and has stood the test of time.

The second step is to get to know your sports supplements. Most of us use a protein or creatine but most of us don't know anything more other than they're supposed to be good for you, that's it. If you don't know why you're taking something, you should not be taking it. It is that simple.

When it comes to bodybuilding supplements it pays to stick to the proven basics. Creatine and whey protein, for example, are both proven and side effect free. Get the rest of your nutrients from your diet, don't over rely on pills and potions.

Our 3rd step is all about working out. I've lost count of the number of times people have told me they're trying to get bigger and then I see them in the gym doing a routine which is never going to get them there. If you crave size, compound exercises like Squats and Military Presses are your best friend.

Rest is the most overlooked rule. Once you begin enjoying your training you don't want to take a day off, understandably. But the truth is you hinder yourself if you train too much, particularly with this type of long-term goal. Beware of over-training.

Sleep is also important, as your body releases it's stores of natural growth hormone during this type. Fail to get enough sleep and you don't let this happen, obviously. Aim for 6-8 hours every night.

So there you have it. We recently gave five tips showing you how to lose weight and keep it off, today we focus on how to build muscle and you'll notice the tips are no more difficult. Apply these to your current training routine and you'll see great returns on each of the steps.
