There are a huge amount of muscle building programs out there. However if you want to gain some serious muscle, then clearly you will want to use a muscle building program that will get you there in the shortest time possible.
The general rule in life is that the more of something that you do, the better you will get at it. The theory is that practice will get you better results. But the opposite applies for most of us, we need to train less.
I know that you read about all these bodybuilding programs in the magazines that tell you how the professionals train 5 or 6 times a week. When we see there huge muscles we think if we follow their advice, we will get the same results.
The thing is this is not always the case. Bodybuilders are totally different from you and me. They have superior genetics compared to the rest of us. This means that their abilities to recover from intense training is far greater than the rest of us. Don’t think that we can use their methods of training.
You need to accept this situation before you can start to gain muscle the correct way. Most people that train with weights in order to put some muscles on their bodies train far too much. Don’t make this mistake, cut the training down now.
You will be able to see some pretty impressive results in muscle gain, in around 8 weeks, if you follow 2 simple rules.
Rule 1. Don’t overdo the amount of weight you train with. Don’t worry about how heavy the weight is. As long as it is challenging for you, then you are doing ok. Your training should consist of exercises that hit larger muscle groups. These are exercises that target the most muscle through using 1 exercise. For example, the squat.
Rule 2. Don’t train more than a couple of times a week. Get it into your head this is the best way for you to train. Training hard not only impacts your muscles, it has an impact on everything else as well. Yout nervous system may not have recovered, even if your muscles have.
If your nervous system has not recovered, giving it further punishment through training, means it will be hard to cope. You need the rest to make the muscle appear. When you’ve finished your training session have 3 days break. Or even 2 days. Your body will let you know how it’s feeling.
I know that a lot of trainee’s will try this method for a week, and slowly crawl back into their old habits. The fact is that if you have been using particular bodybuilding programs which haven’t worked, then something is wrong. You need to do something different to get different results.
