Muscle Building Tips

Muscle Building tips
Train with intensity. Push yourselves hard and make each rep. count. 10-15 reps with no more than 1 minute rest. The burning sensation you get from intense workouts, is lactic acid. Lactic acid is thought to increase muscle growth by stimulating your natural growth hormone.

Use a training partner and train to failure. After warming up (no stretching) try doing 3 sets of a push ups, dips, jumps or pull ups…….go until failure each time with no more than 1 minute rest. Then continue with your routine.

Do not train for bulk and a marathon at the same time. These are separate goals and will counter balance each other and stop you achieving either result. That is not to say someone trying to add bulk should do no cardio or visa versa.

Eat a well-balanced diet. If anything is to be cut out make it bad calories or high fatty foods. You need to eat especially well on the das you train. Make sure you have a protein and carb rich meal approx. 1 hour before and after training. You need 1 gram of protein for each pound of body weight. Try a good variety of protein sources Fish, poultry, red meat (beef is excellent), eggs, dairy, whole grains (quinoa) etc. and of course protein supplements.

Stay mentally focused set yourself short term and long term gaols that are achievable to you. The success of reaching goals is priceless the devastation of not is debilitating.

Sleep well, when we sleep our bodied repair themselves.
