There are a huge amount of muscle building programs out there. Gaining serious muscle will involve using methods that will get you there as quickly as possible.
The general rule in life is that the more of something that you do, the better you will get at it. The theory is that practice will get you better results. Therefore when you’re thinking about gaining extra muscle, quite the opposite is true.
Each time you pick a magazine up all you see is bodybuiders who will tell you that to get muscles like them you have to train nearly everyday of the week. When we see there huge muscles we think if we follow their advice, we will get the same results.
The thing is this is not always the case. Bodybuilders are totally different from you and me. Their genetics are much better than normal people’s. So they can recover quicker than us after they have done their training. Don’t think that we can use their methods of training.
You need to accept this situation before you can start to gain muscle the correct way. Most people that train with weights in order to put some muscles on their bodies train far too much. Cut back on your training now if this is what you are doing.
You will be able to see some pretty impressive results in muscle gain, in around 8 weeks, if you follow 2 simple rules.
Rule 1. Stick to weights that are just right for you, not to heavy. It doesn’t matter if you use 100 pounds or 40 pounds. You know it’s working for you when you find it challenging. Train using multi joint exercises. These are exercises that target the most muscle through using 1 exercise. Doing squats will help.
Rule 2. Cut back your training to twice a week. This is one of the hardest things to get into the heads of wannabe muscle men. Hard training takes it’s toll on the rest of your body as well as the target muscles. Yout nervous system may not have recovered, even if your muscles have.
If your nervous system has not recovered, giving it further punishment through training, means it will be hard to cope. The result being, no muscle. After each workout give yourself 3 days rest. Or 2 if you want. See how you feel physically and mentally.
I know that a lot of trainee’s will try this method for a week, and slowly crawl back into their old habits. The fact is that if you have been using particular bodybuilding programs which haven’t worked, then something is wrong. To get the results you want you are going to have to change things.
