Revealed: How To Build Muscle Mass At Home
August 21st, 2009 | 
Author: One common question often asked is: “Do I need to go to join a gym in order to workout and build muscle?. Of course the answer is ‘no’. Of course there are disadvantages and advantages of working out both in a gym and at home. You can easily build muscle home.
Working out in a regular gym allows you access to all sorts of new and different types of equipment, you can get professional advice easily as well, plus it is likely to be much safer. However training in a gym can be annoying sometimes if you have to wait for a particular piece of equipment or the other gym users are sat around gossipping and not really interested in getting big.
As regards working-out at home, there are many benefits to this: no fee (my favourite), no hassle travelling there and parking, workout with your shirt off, you can play your own music, no queing for equipment and you don’t have to worry about what other people are thinking about you when you are shouting at the bar for motivation.
The negatives are the intial outlay of money at that is required to purchase the equipment although this will likely last a for ages and can be sold again second hand, you may also incur the wrath of your housemates/partner if you use up too much room.
Working-out at home allows you to build muscle mass at your convenience and if you go by the following how to build muscles fast at home guidelines you should not have a problem working-out at home:
1)Find a suitably large space, such as a garage, basement or spare room. A much safer option is to workout on a ground floor as it will be stronger. Good ventilation will be welcome too. If it is a garage make sure it is fully water-proof so your equipment does not get rusty.
2) Anything easily damaged should be removed. Ample warning is provided byt youtube where a guy doing barbell curls unfortunately lets his barbell nudge his large fish tank with a barbell just a little too hard! Hilarious, of course unless it is your fish tank. Try to get a permanent set training spot, this will prevent any future mistakes like this. Imagine slipping a barbell into the scrren of a plasma tv ot dropping a dumbell on a new laptop, not too much fun.
3) Purchase these pieces of equipment: a normal weights bench, squat stand, a workout mat, a pull up bar and a set of cast iron barbells and dumbells. There are some great innovative pieces of equipment out there so take a look around but make sure you buy very sturdy equipment that will last, don’t skimp on quality as it is going to take a lot of hammer!
4) Plan out a decent routine. Top quality muscle mass building exercises can be done with that equipment. Bench-presses, squats, pull-ups, dead lifts are all must have compound exercises which should be made use of followed by movements such as: barbell curls, upright rows, shrugs, shoulder presses, lunges, lateral raises and bent over rows are also good to use.
5) Be conscious of your own safety. As you are going to be working out solo then get a friend around to help you if you want to perform any heavy one rep maximums as this will help keep you safe. Lock all weight discs tightly to the barbell before lifting. Some weight benches allow you to put a pin in at the bottom of your lift, when the barbell is just above your chest, do this as if you can’t press it back up then you can rest it on the pins, do the same on the squat stand too.
So, by following the above ‘how to build muscle home guidelines’ you can have a great workout, build heaps of muscle mass and all in the convenience of your own home.
