Body Building With Muscle Building Supplements

Hardgainer’s Guide To Build Muscle Mass

Nowadays there is no shortage of information about how to build muscle. And aside from a few good sources, most of them are dead ends and do not provide you with any real information.

Over the years I had been exposed to this phenomenon and I have been discouraged and frustrated because of it and that is why I am so passionate about helping you to discover some of the common myths that are being exposed these days on the internet and even in the real life fitness industry.

Alright, time to blow the lid off of 3 myths on how to build muscle.

Myth 1: Supplements Are The Only Way To Build Muscle

How many times have you felt like you are being bombarded on the internet about buying some new supplement out there? I know that I feel that way most times when I read a muscle magazine or if I happen to wander into the local supplement shot to buy some regular protein powder.

The industry is lying to you when they tell you that a supplement can build muscle for you. That is a total load of B.S.

Afore I go on and make enemies from people in the supplement market, let me be honest and let you know that there are some supplements that are essential to build muscle including protein powder, multivitamin’s, fish oils and digestive enzymes in addition to some other one’s if you are a bit more advanced.

But generally I am talking about supplements that claim they elevate testosterone levels by 1800% or that it will help you gain 14lbs in 3 days. C’mon now, get real!

Get the basics, but understand a supplement is just a supplement. It’s an addition that will only have a inconsiderable positive affect whenever everything else is in line such as nutrition, workout and recovery. You’re better off saving your money to build muscle by investing in high quality food.

Myth 2: Training Like A Bodybuilder Will Help You Look Like A Bodybuilder

If a guy like Arnold or Ronnie Coleman works out for 3 hours a day, then why shouldn’t you?

Well because, if you are a natural trainer (steroid free) you cannot expect to follow the same routine as someone who is un-natural and get the same results.

It just doesn’t make sense. You need to train like a natural athlete and that means keeping the intensity high and the workout time to about an hour a session and only about 4 workouts per week works best.

Besides, even if you were taking un-natural supplements (which I do not recommend) you still need to walk before you crawl or walk before you run. It’s about progression and even when natural you should gradually ramp up your workout time until you can have a 1 hour intense workout session.

You will be limited in your results while staying natural but research has proven you will be far better off in the long run with much less side effects.

Myth 3: Carbs Will Make You Fat

Carbs have gotten a bad rap in the past decade and its really for no good reason.

Yes carbs can make you fat if you consume the wrong types and in a surplus. But then again, so can fats and to a lesser extent protein’s. Anything in excess will cause fat gain.

You might think consuming carbs will lead to fat gain, but when you want to build muscle you really want to focus on having 50% of your calorie intake come from carbs.

Of course, be sure to include the clean sources (yams, brown rice, oats and veggies) and it will provide constant energy in your everyday activities as well as help you build muscle by being stronger in your workouts.

So go ahead and eat those carbs! Above all if you are a Hardgainer and you long to build muscle.
