The Quick Muscle Building Guide

Written by ama on October 19, 2009

This tested Muscle Building Guide has been written for the guy who might be on the skinny side and is struggling to build muscle. An overview of the key features in this Muscle Building Guide should help you to be successful in your muscle building quest!

Now, let’s start

1) Not More Than 10 Reps in a set

You will begin to excite your slow twitch muscle fiber which depresses the potential for muscle growth when you go over 10 reps in a set

This is not what we want to accomplish. The land of the skinny will await you if go to the land of the eleventh rep which is a big NO Keeping it “Heavy” is the name of the game if we want to build solid muscle mass, so the attitude you want to get yourself into is Heavy!!

This is the region where you want to be through all of the exercises in your workout.

 

You can know that you are on your way to building muscle, guaranteed, if you stick to these two rules of keeping sets below ten, and keeping the weight heavy.We highly propose a training partner when performing your heavy workouts. With the much overlooked issues as safety and motivation, this will help you out. Of course, lifting heavy weights is hard work but the rewards are so worth it and it is a must.

2) Reduce the Workout Time

It is imperative in your muscle building guide to try and reduce the time it takes you to do the work and even try and increase the workload. Quantity of sets, reps and recovery time is what work means.

This idea is disregarded often.

Do you think you will have more muscle gain if you can increase your workload but lessen the time it takes to do the work? Absolutely! This must be done with guidance by a trainer or a muscle building coach as recommended.

Here is an instance to clarify who is the stronger guy here? The guy who benches 185 pounds, at four sets of 8 with a 30 second rest between sets, or the guy who does exactly the same but with a 60 second rest?

Clearly the answer is the first guy as he is getting the same amount of work done in a shorter period of time.

 

So the idea to grasp while reading this muscle building guide, is the next time you train at the gymnasium, or in your garage monitor your rest periods between sets with a stopwatch or timer of some description. If you have not done this before you will be astounished at the time variance between sets that you have been taking, especially near the 3rd or 4th set.

At this point the old time seems to creep out a little, and this is the critical point where your muscle will get its most benifical growth.

{3) One Exercise for each Muscle Set}

It is a little irresponsible and not much fun we feel, but there is the theory out there that you should work your muscle group until it feels absolutely dead to get any muscle growth. An example of a day at the gym.

We will be working the chest muscle and what better exercise to do this with than the bench press!!! The first set you lift a weight of 175 pounds, second 195 pounds, third at 210 pounds and forth at 225 pounds. Let’s just say this is the most weight for the set you have just done. It's perhaps impossible that you have used the max quantity of muscle fibers. You are not striving to rip your muscle group into shreds but to spark them into growth.

What happens when your muscle tissue go through an unfamiliar attack, which means you actually sense like you are pushing your muscle group to a new level, your body will naturally be forced to adapt and create new muscle to stop other attacks. This one exercise in conclusion, for that day, will be enough to stimulate the muscle growth in that particular muscle group

4) Stay at 3-5 Sets per Muscle collection.

Its still amazing that many scrawny guys i see at the gym are knocking out 6 sets plus for each muscle group. Do not forget if you are a hardgainer (someone who struggles to add weight) you have to follow another set of guidelines if you are ever going to make it in building muscle.

Therefore the quality Muscle Building Guide works like this. 85% max effort are your first and second set just heating up. Third set is at about 95%, getting pumped now! Now this is the appealing part,¦your last set (and sometimes your fifth) are at your full 100% max effort. You will be thinking it should be the other way round as you would have more energy at the beginning of your training, but not the case. Believe it or not the last set is where most of your muscle growth occurs.

I know you are without doubt feeling worse for wear by your last set, but this is where you need to dig in and go hard. Bear in mind your muscle gain occurs here so you know that your hard work is worth it.

5) Increase Your Strength 5% Every Two Weeks

The title actually speaks for itself, but this has to be recorded. The other big mistake i see a person making is not keeping a record of the weight he or she is lifting. It is a must to build muscle and going for that 5% every 14 days is a realistic goal.

I would say pretty darn buff! think how you will seem in 6 months if you stick to this one muscle building guide.
