Most people do not know how build muscle. Despite the millions of us who use the gym, this is a very common problem. Most of us don't know what type of exercises are effective.
If you are ready to learn the facts you are in the correct place.
Before you go the the gym for your next session, take a moment and think about your current routine. Do you spend too much time playing around with little exercises that don't make very much difference to your overall physique? If you are like most people, the answer here is certainly yes.
If you are chasing a quicker return for your efforts in the gym leave behind your existing routine and try our advice for a month or two.
Returning to the basic proven principles of training is sometimes the best way to see progress. We're going to go old school on you here. Compound movements still rule when it comes to size and strength.
That's right, despite the fact that working out has become increasingly more scientific in recent years we still need to return to the very beginning when we want to increase our size and strength. Performing a heavy bench press is still excellent for chest building, shoulder press is still the optimal shoulder building exercise, you get the picture...
Make the big lifts the base of your workout routine. There is nothing wrong with having a few isolation exercises thrown in around them to round out your session but make no mistake about it, you are there to do your compound lifts. To put it simply, if you consistently improve your squat your legs will get bigger. Your body needs to adapt, it has no choice, you will get bigger and stronger.
The next question on most people's lips is usually to find out how much weight they need to use. A good system to use here is the eight-to-twelve rule. Your hypertrophy zone is eight to twelve reps, so start with a weight you can only lift eight times. Keep working with that wight until you are able to perform twelve reps with it. Once you can do that you are ready to increase the resistance and go back to eight reps.
Although very simple, that rule will keep you pushing for new progress and continually lifting more on your big lifts.
Sure, you could spend three hours in the gym every day working every single part of your body if you want to. But you want results, right? The easiest way to do that is base your efforts on the exercises which are going to give you the size you're after.
Don't forget to rest, too. There is nothing wrong with having days off from training in fact we encourage you to do so because this is when your body grows. Your muscles need time to repair and recover, which happens both when you rest and when you sleep.
Like we said at the start of this write up, most people don't know how to build muscle. Thankfully, now you are not among them. As a personal trainer my advice would be to take this guide and run with it. We see too many people who don't take action, you've wanted to build a more powerful physique for a while and now you have the knowledge to go do it.
If you are ready to learn the facts you are in the correct place.
