2 Rules of Muscle building

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.

Muscle Gaining Is Not Easy. Alcohol Makes It Even Harder

People who are learning how to build muscle mass at the gym approach me all the time with all kinds of questions. One of the things I am asked most is – does alcohol drinking have any affect on gaining muscle. Well if you had that question in mind than I’m sorry to disappoint you, but yes, consuming alcohol has a very direct, and negative effect on the results you will get with your burn fat gain muscle efforts.     The damages that alcohol causes the human body are far worse than most people tend to think. Because of that, you should get a clearer understanding of how it effects your muscle building efforts. Understand that alcohol is basically a drug. And while we are not trying to preach here, you, as a person who wants to develop your body and keep healthy, should be aware of the effects that alcohol has on your health in general, and on muscle building specifically.   1) Alcohol has a negative affect on protein synthesis.

Protein synthesis is the process that takes place in your body, in which amino acids are joined into whole proteins. Too much alcohol slows this process down by twenty percent or more. Because building muscle uses proteins in the process, you can see the problem we have right here.

It's also known that alcohol lowers the testosterone levels in your body while pusing the estrogen level up. If you have a low level of testosterone flowing through your body, than your ability to build muscle decreases, as this is a hormone essential to building muscle. Alcohol prompts your bdoy for dehydration. Having alcohol in your body forces your body to dedicate a lot of effort in pushing it out. This pulls water resources from the body. As you may guess, this is very bad for the muscle building process that requires a lot of water. It can also be very dangerous.   4) Alcohol drains vitamins and mineral from your body. Vitamins A, C, all the B’s, zinc, calcium and phosphorus are being drained at a rapid pace from your body, as soon as alcohol hits the system. Muscle building involves using a lot of vitamins in the process, so, them being drained out of the body is harmful to the process.    5) Alcohols makes it harder to rid of fat. Alcohol is 7 calories per gram, and that’s a lot. Storing fat is not what you want when you are aiming to build muscle. Drinking alcohol is a habbit many people use for fun and relaxation. Having fun is good, but if you over do it with alcohol consumption that all your muscle building efforts will suffer. No need to panic - some alcohol drinking from rime to time is OK. Just keep it under control.  If you do find yourself drinking too much, at least make sure you drink a lot of water and take some vitamins, as well as a protein rich meal. Next time you ask how to burn fat and build muscle you will know that drinking in a part of the solution. Being aware of the risk and damages that are caused by drinking to your body are half the battle. If you take care to keep the damage to a minimum than your building muscle efforts will not be effected too much.  

Bodybuilding Meal plan

Eating appropriately is the most vital part of your bodybuilding meal plan.

In my eyes, it is tougher to eat appropriately, than it is to go to the gym and work a 2 hour weight training session. Most people have experienced that. I was advised to eat appropriately. I took the advice and acted on it. My leanness and muscle gain increased very much.
Most people think that feeding themselves with massive protein food and less of other food will help them build mass. If that’s what you do, you could have some serious malnutrition problems arise, as you wont be getting all that you need to function. Its counter-intuitive trying to build muscle mass yet in the process becoming weak physically.
What you really want is to have the right proportion of protein in your diet, especially when your body is ready for it. My muscle mass diet starts as soon as I get up. Breakfast every morning is scientifically proved to be the best to fire up your digestive system and muscles; it also gets your body prepared for the entire protein intake during the rest of the day.
It is good, if you can include lots of complex carbohydrates and fibers in your breakfast. Whole grain bread and porridge is an ideal breakfast. Fibre and vitamins are healthy for your digestive system and it also prepares you for hard protein, that you will have later.
Beef and chicken are not food that can be easily digested early in the day. Proteins that are not easily digested should be taken later in the day.
At about 10 in the morning, you should be ready for another protein intake. At this time, it is recommended that you eat broccoli, cottage cheese and brown rice. If you have a sweet tooth, low fat and sugar yogurt with banana and some whole meal bread is a good alternative to include in your bodybuilding diet plan
The next hour for having something to eat ideally is twelve. Eat food that contains fiber and protein, tuna or chicken salad with whole meal bread will be good. Alternatively, you may eat low fat quality sausages or chicken breast meat.
Around 3pm, eat a tub or 25g of cottage cheese if you have not had it earlier in the day. Having some vegetables which are high in iron will  keep your energy levels up and your mind active. Silver beet or steamed spinach or potatoes can be included as well, as part of a balanced bodybuilding diet.
If you plan to start training at around 7 in the evening, you are advised to drink some protein shake 30 minutes before you start training. If you have a really heavy shake before the training, you may experience cramps, so keep it light, 250ml of milk mixed with 2 scoops of whey protein will be ideal.
Post training you should always have a good quality protein shake.g. 400ml of milk mixed with 3 or 4 scoops of whey, some eggs and banana. It is vital to the bodybuilding diet to drink your post-training shake. At about 9pm, have your tea. Tea should contain 300gms of protein which is equivalent to a chicken breast meat or beef or fish around . Have tea with some brown rice, fresh vegetables and beans, and wash it down with lots of water or fresh fruit juice.
Sticking to muscle building foods like this, will help you net awesome muscle gain results, fast.

A Review of The No Nonsense Muscle Building System

This is a review of the No Nonsense Muscle Building program which is highly regarded by many fitness and muscle magazines.

This program was created by Vince Delmonte, who is a certified fitness coach and nutritionist. Vince was also a hardgainer once. Anybody that is skinny and finds it impossible to build muscle.

Vince has studied and researched the world of bodybuilding and muscle gain extensivly for a number of years. With the painstaking work, Vince created a method that will solve the problems of the hardest of gainers.

The No Nonsense Muscle Building Program focuses on a few basic exercise’s done over short periods of time. Only 3 hours training a week is required. This is not a method where you take it easy. It is far from being easy. This program is not for people who think that they won't have to do anything, and that muscle will just turn up after a few mediocre workouts.

The idea behind the program is easy, but when you go into the gym you need to train with intensity. Doing it this way will reward you with around 10 pounds of muscle gain in just a few weeks. This sounds too good to be true to people who have struggled to gain muscle in the paSt. The training routines will consist of exercises that virtually guarantee that you gain muscle.

Vince talks extensively about dietry habits and mental preparation. At the end of the day tens of thousands of people have successfully used this program and have managed to surprise themselves at how quickly they have seen results. You will learn why a lot of the exercises and routines that you read about in muscle magazines will not work for the average guy. In the begining you will be focusing on just a handful of exercises which will give you the best results. Once you have gained enough muscle mass, you are then ready for the next level.

Does the No Nonsense Muscle Building Program work. The fact that this program has had so many endorsements from various sources, would seem to lead to that conclusion.

If you consider yourself a hardgainer or you are someone who is struggling to gain muscle mass, then it could definitely be worth taking a look. Visit Vince Del Monte’s website and have a peek for yourself.

It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, old or young, Vince promises that you will get results far beyond your expectations, or it cost you a penny. You can also sign up to a free muscle building video course which gives valuable insights into gaining muscle mass. If you like what you see, then there is no harm in trying out the No Nonsense Muscle Building Program for yourself.

Building muscle fast

 

Hi, my name is Alex Cameron, and im a competitive ametuer body builder. Ive just put together a great resource site on body building and lean muscle. I want to share with my readers all my best tips and tricks that I have used to kick start your body and muscle building, on the right track. 

The most important part of your routine is to eat properly!

You hear it time and time again. Its harder though, to get your diet 100% right, than it is to get to the gym for a solid hour long workout session. I know this, because I have been in your position. It wasnt till after I actually implemented that advice, that I had a plan created and following this, the weight and muscle size began to pile on.

One of the most common diet myths thats around, is that you should only eat protien and little else, in order to get that size you want. Watch out for this sort of advice!

Ideally and for the best outcomes, what you need to do is wait till the times of day when your body is set to injest and use the protien via your metabolism. For a good day, you want to ‘wake’ your body nice and quickly by taking on morning foods that awaken the muscle and digestive system.

For the first meal of they day, breakfast, its a great idea to get in plenty of carb and fibre. Wholegrains, oats, porridge and grain toasts with a quality olive oil spread is a good option. Fruits are rich in essential vitamins and fibre is incredible for digestive health, while ensuring your tummy is ready for the protien blast you will hit it with later in the day.

A protien shake first thing is fine, but save the harder to digest protiens for later in the day, such as chickens or beef/steak.

By morning tea time, or 10am, you should be ready for another hit. Now is when food like brown rice and carrots or perhaps a tub of cottage cheese (250g) is perfect. For those with a sweeter tooth, a low fat low sugar yoghurt is a good option, with some banana and wholemeal bread.
