Bodybuilding Workouts & Tips, Quick Methods to Train Your Muscles

By Ricardo d Argence

There is information going around both on and offline about how to build up muscle rapidly. As a personal trainer, I can recommend some little known facts that will help you in building muscle. These tips will help you to get going on your quest to build up your muscle mass.

I often hear that you should train each muscle group just once a week. Whilst this may produce optimal progress for extreme hardgainers it is not true for most people.

Sure, you should steer clear of overtraining but like most things in life you won?t improve at something by practicing it only once per week, this is true to a certain degree in bodybuilding too.

Muscle groups should be trained no less than twice per week. In fact ideally you should push your body through periods of near overtraining an then drop off into periods of undertraining. This provides times when there is a lot of stress for the body to handle and other times when the body has more time to recover and build momentum for another push. Hitting training plateaus can be avoided by doing this.

Make sure that your sessions don?t continue for more than 45 minutes. If you think that is not long enough then either your routine is too long or you don?t workout intensely enough. 45 minutes will be plenty if you really focus on intensity and avoid distractions.

If your workout session lasts longer than 45 minutes then testosterone levels will drop drastically because there will be more production of cortisol which makes the body eat muscle tissue and store fat. This is exactly the opposite of what we want.

You need to set cycles for your training, meaning that after sometime your muscle will not be urged into growing by the same regimens because the body will have become accustomed to the workout and can handle it already. Change up your regimen before your gains begin to lessen.

You should also try not to alter your routine too often either. Doing so could confuse your bodies muscles overly so and stop it working its way into a nice groove.

You will not see large gains if you do not do the right exercises. The timeless and most effective muscle building exercises are the multi-joint exercises that are known as compound exercises.

The best ones are: dead lifts, bench presses, rows, squats, pull ups, shoulder presses plus any exercise that moves your entire body through air ie, not just moving individual limbs. If you use these exercises, with a few of their variations and correct muscle building nutrition then you can?t help but stimulate muscle mass growth.

By using the mentioned recommendations and sticking to correct muscle building diet and workouts, you will quickly be able to build up muscle mass and be huge before you know it! - 17269
