So, you want to learn how to body build? To develop a good amount of shapely, strong and masculine muscle in the shortest time possible? I’ll start you off…
When you are starting out I strongly advise you to forget about all the fancy things you will see people talking about in the forums and in the glossy magazines. Keep it simple and as basic as possible and focus on the main principles which are…
#1: Always try to lift heavier, if not each session, then each week.
Only by lifting heavier and heavier weights will you get bigger and bigger. I have written out a [LINK: mens workout routine] for you to follow to get you started. It contains the very best lifts for building muscle mass, and is simple and basic for a beginner.
#2: Eat enough food to support muscle growth.
Building muscle is an energy consuming business, so you need to be sure that you are taking in a lot more food than you would normally. How much food depends on many variables, but not least enough to begin putting on around a pound of muscle a week.
You could of course try to put more on, but sometimes trying to go for too much muscle gains in a short space of time can lead to unwanted fat gains, so I advise you to go slowly.
When you find you are no longer putting size, weight and strength on, you need to once again increase your food intake.
You must also eat every 3 hours while you are awake to keep your body building and repairing muscle at all times.
#3: When not lifting, rest.
Resting when you are not lifting not only allow was the body to use the calories you are taken in from foot to build a new muscle mass, but it also gives the muscles break, too.
I would recommend keeping other sporting activities to a minimum while you are trying to build muscle mass. Most people find the short sacrifice well worth it, and also when they return to their sports find they are much stronger and faster.
Sleep is crucial, too. You must ensure that you get a good seven hours sleep every day as this is the time when your body is building the most muscle mass.
