How to Gain Muscle Mass in Bodybuilding

By Chris Tan

Building muscle mass and doing quickly requires extreme commitment and dedication. Anyone can choose to follow a path to building muscle, however there are many who jump in full throttle without doing the research first. This mistake leads to a plateau which in turn leaves the person frustrated, and eventually they quit. Below, I will show some important tips to build muscle mass quickly, correctly and most importantly; safely.

A good foundation for muscle growth.

The dreaded plateau is commonly reached within two to three months of the day the workout or muscle mass training begins. The reason for this plateau is that the proper foundation has not been laid out. In order to achieve the ability to increase the weights used in a workout, the bodybuilder must first incorporate a series of ten strength training workouts. These workouts allow the body to become prepared for more intense workouts by gradually increasing the weights as well as more rapid repetition, which will then create muscle mass.

Focusing solely on the upper body.

The next common mistake bodybuilders make is that they focus solely on building up the upper body. This mistake also leads to a plateau. Inexperienced bodybuilders tend to focus on the upper body mainly because that is the part you can see. Areas such as the abs, arms and chest what are what everyone sees and wants to change. However, in order to build muscle mass, all areas of the body must receive the same attention. Muscle groups such as the thighs are highly important and should not be ignored.

Focusing only on isolated exercises.

Exercises that train only a certain muscle group are called isolated exercise. This is another common mistake beginners make. Bicep curls and tricep extensions are a couple of examples of these exercises. In order to achieve muscle mass, the entire body must be included in the exercise regimen. Therefore, compound exercises must be implemented. These exercises allow the muscles to achieve higher weight which in turn forces them to adapt to the increase and grow.

Are you guilty of these common mistakes? Have you reached the dreaded plateau? These tips are very important in achieving your quest for muscle mass. Having the proper workout, technique and doing the research needed in order to do it correctly is the only way to acquire your goal. In addition, don't hesitate to ask an experienced bodybuilder for tips; they will be more than happy to share the knowledge. - 17269
