Uncover Some New Ways to Workout and Build Muscle Fast

By Brad Morgan

If you are trying to build muscle, there are exercises that can help you get the most out of your workouts. Some moves are definitely more effective than others in helping you achieve your goal.

What are the keys to building muscle and keeping it on?

1. Work complementary muscles with consecutive supersets.

When you are building muscle, long workouts are actually less effective than short, intense ones. To get the most from each and every session, keep them short and hard. Your muscles need to be challenged.

The best way to challenge your muscles is supersetting. This is when you pair two exercises with no rest period in between.

Supersetting works by exercising two muscle groups in consecutive movements with very short periods of rest between sets. Your muscles are challenged more, and you reduce your risk of injury because there is much less strain on your joints and tendons.

An example of a superset is pairing bicep curls with tricep kickbacks. You can also work back and chest muscles together or quads and hamstrings. You will see results more quickly and make your workouts much more efficient and safe.

2. Raise the difficulty level with compound exercises.

Building muscle fast requires very intense, very difficult exercises for the body. The good news is that your workouts are shorter ? only about 35-40 minutes.

Using compound exercises is another great way to see results fast. They require that you use more than one muscle to complete the move. Compound moves include:

* Adding an overhead press to your walking lunges

* Completing a pushup with side planks

* Adding squats to overhead presses

* Lunges with bicep curls

* Executing pushups with one armed rows

Compound exercises like these have a lot of benefits: you work on balance and coordination, make sure all your muscle groups are active, and add intensity to your workouts. In addition, you can reduce your risk of injury. And you?ll see more muscle mass.

3. Muscle growth requires rest.

It is important to build rest into your workout routines. Your muscles develop when you are resting, not when you are working them.

If you continually strain your muscles with daily workouts or by working the same muscles for more than one day in a row, you are not allowing your muscles to build. In fact, you are sabotaging your own muscle building efforts.

The following workout routine is an example that is effective for building muscle:

* Schedule three weekly workout sessions.

* Train each part of your body once a week (chest, shoulders, triceps one day; back and biceps another; and finally legs).

* Build in rest periods.

* Repeat!

This will keep your body in muscle building mode and help you prevent injury to your muscles.

Supersets, compound moves, and rest are some of the most important factors in your quest to build muscle and retain it. When added into any workout routine, results will quickly follow. - 17269
