NEWSFLASH: Most People Don’t Realize This But Building Muscle Mass Is Not Hard
Have you ever really learned what it takes to get big gains and increase muscle mass? Many of you workout hard everyday, take all the best and you think that is going to get you massive. I wish it were that easy. It will take more than that to build the kind of muscle you are searching for. The following three tips will help to power up your muscle building program and help you to gain muscle mass in the shortest time possible.
Compound Exercises To Gain Muscle Mass
If you hope to build muscle mass then doing compound exercises are not optional. They must be included in your workout routine. It makes no difference what you have heard or what you believe compound exercises are one of the most critical things you can do to build muscle and get a muscular physique. Your mass building routine must include dead lifts, squats, bench press and bent over rows. These exercises are much better than isolation exercises at helping to pack on the muscle. You will build more muscle in a shorter time because you are using more of the supporting muscle groups to help with each lift.
The Squat and Dead Lift
Squatting and Dead Lifts are the two big muscle building exercises that are responsible for building strength and creating muscle mass. These two basic exercises are the best of the best! There is no way you are going to get the body you want unless you include these two exercises. Alone, these two exercises, work out about 80% of your entire musculature, including your traps, shoulders, arms, back, glutes, hamstrings, calves and a major portion of your core muscles.
Your body naturally produces growth hormone and by doing squats and dead lifts you are helping to raise these levels in your body resulting in a bigger and stronger musculature. This will help you make big gains in your other lifts, which means more overall muscle mass! If you are a hard gainer then squatting and dead lifts are especially critical because of the hormonal spikes, and the amount of muscles used in the lift which will affect your entire body.
Monitor Your Rest Periods: Your Gateway To Adding Lean Muscle Mass
You must reduce the amount of rest in between exercises to maintain the anabolic effect you created by doing compound exercises. Your rest in between sets should be no more that 30 seconds, just enough time for the lactic acid buildup to subside.
Can you think of a time in the past where you saw someone timing their rest periods in between sets? For those of you weight lifters that are serious about gaining muscle mass then it’s time to get a stopwatch and time your rest in between sets.
Typically, the closer you lift to your one rep maximum the more the rest period and the greater the number of reps you do, the shorter the rest period. This is a crucial measure, which is often overlooked by many weight lifters, yet it will determine whether you create the best anabolic training response.
You know as well as I do that it’s not as simple as just going to the gym and doing some basic weight lifting exercises. Perhaps you add some protein to your diet and “presto” your huge. You know it doesn’t work that way. Follow these three easy to use steps and I guarantee that you will start building muscle mass, period!
