Muscle Building Routine – The Overall Approach to Building Muscle Mass
Posted on January 25th, 2010 No commentsBuilding muscle mass is a multi-pronged approach which requires a proper mass building workout routine, proper nutrition, sufficient rest and good supplements.
When it comes to selecting the proper workout method, the best way to build muscle mass is by using free weights. Any serious weightlifter will tell you that dumbbells and barbells are the key to building up mass. In addition to working your primary target muscle, free weights such as barbells and dumbbells involve secondary muscle groups as well and force your body to exert more effort and engage more muscles. Machines have more muscle-isolating kinetics to them and are mainly used in routines when you are looking to get muscle definition and separation.
To build mass and allow for enough recovery time you should be exercising between 2 to 4 times per week. More than 4 times per week will not give you enough time to rest and will force your muscle into cannibalizing themselves. Mass building workouts are ones where you do a low number of sets (2 to 3 max) and go super heavy on the weights where you perform 4 to 6 (sometimes
repetitions. Thus, these workouts are demanding and sufficient rest is paramount! Another element involves changing-up your routine every 3 weeks. This keeps your muscles guessing and avoids hitting plateaus in development.Proper nutrition is another piece of the mass building puzzle. You need to add to your bodyâs daily calorie intake, and consume more calories than you burn. Then you will take those calories and meld them into super strong and massive musculature by doing proper and frequent exercise.
Begin by consuming about 1.5 grams of protein for each pound of your body weight. Later, you can up the intake if you want to further your results. Proteins build and rebuild tissue and without them you cannot achieve any muscle growth. Itâs also important to consume carbohydrates in sufficient quantities, for three purposes. First, your body draws on them as the fuel to burn in the furnace. They provide you energy during your workouts. Second, when youâre burning carbohydrates, youâre not burning the proteins that you need to build mass. Third, you need them after a workout to spike your energy levels. You should eat a small serving of carbohydrates at every meal, and snack on carbs both before and after your workout.
Just remember when youâre choosing carbohydrates to stick with the complex rather than simple carbs. Simple carbs, from fruit and dairy products, are not the kind you need. You want the complex carbohydrates from whole grains, pasta, rice, and legumes, or beans. They are full of fiber and will burn slowly in your bodyâs furnace.
<strong>Mass Building Routines - The Importance of Recuperation</strong>
When you are building mass it is important to rest enough. If you are a novice, begin with two workouts per week; eventually you can advance to four. But itâs important to rest muscles for 48 hours between workouts. If you train too often, or if you fail to give muscle groups adequate rest, then your body will draw on protein as fuel and will actually eat-up your hard earned muscle. Furthermore, getting sufficient hours of sleep every night is also important because this is the time when our body goes into rebuild and recovery mode.
Finally, proper bodybuilding supplements in the form of whey protein and vitamins are also a key component of building muscle. Unless you are a great cook and have time to cook 4 to 6 meals a day, you will be hard pressed to achieve your goals without taking pre-workout and post-workout protein shakes. Of course there are other supplements that you can use to build muscle and enhance your strength and energy, but whey protein is the absolute foundation upon which you build your supplement intake. Eating 4 to 6 meals per day that are evenly spaced will get you on the right track to achieving your muscle building goals.
In conclusion, your muscle building efforts are a synchronized approach where you need to incorporate different elements which all act in perfect synergy to help you achieve you goal of building muscle mass. A good workout routine coupled with proper nutrition, rest and supplementation are all key components. Take away one and you will have crippled your efforts and subsequent results.

Build Lean Muscle, Burn Fat & Jack-Up Your Metabolism
Posted on January 24th, 2010 1 commentSo, you want to build lean muscle and get ripped, huh? You’d better get off your butt and start lifting some real weight, performing serious lifting routines and eating the right foods your body commandsif you’re ever going to build the rock-hard muscle you want.
The name of the muscle building game is GO BIG, GO HEAVY or GO HOME.
Most guys who want to build lean muscle mass are not lifting with the right intensity and focus to make serious amounts of muscle gain. Look around the gym, those guys look exactly the same as they did a year ago, don’t they? It is because they aren’t implementing intense, targeted weight training workouts.
Muscle must be stressed and pushed beyond their limits during each and every training session in order to grow.
You have got to lift heavy, using powerful multi joint exercises to shred the muscle fibers and force them to adapt.So how heavy is heavy enough?
If you truly want to build muscle mass you have to make sure you are shredding it and forcing it to grow. The only way to do this is by lifting heavy. Really heavy! The definition of heavy is as much weight as you can possibly lift for 6 reps. If you can lift it 7 times, throw more weight on its too light! It has to be the absolute maximum amount of weight you can possibly lift without puking.
How many pounds did you bench last week? Was that your absolute max?
This is gut wrenching training that builds lean muscle mass fast. If you want to be stacked with serious slabs of muscle and shredded down to 5% body fat, you gotta push yourself beyond your perceived limits and execute intense weight lifting exercises that are laser-targeted for each muscle group you are building.
So, which weight lifting exercises are best for building muscle?
To build lean muscle effectively, you’d better be doing a multi joint weight lifting routine that forces your body to use multiple muscles simultaneously. For instance, if you do a set of dead lifts, you are not only building your back, but your quads, hamstrings and glute muscles have to work to lift the weight as well. Heavy lifting combined with multi joint training is the fastest way to build mass, period.
Warning! Multi joint exercises will rip your muscles to shreds!
It is vital that you feed your body the precise amount of nutrients to sustain and rebuild themselves before and after executing these heavy-duty weight lifting workouts. If you don’t nourish your muscles they can’t perform optimally during these excruciating training sessions. And without the right amount of protein, they can’t repair, reconstruct and grow.
But you can’t just guess at how much protein you need, 1.5 grams per pound is the average amount of protein everyone uses, and they get average results. You must use the exact amount of protein for you, your body type and your training routine so that you can power through these hard core lifting exercises and get freakin shredded!
So, are you going to keep guessing that you got it right?
