Fastest Way To Gain Muscle
Written by ama on February 8, 2011 – 5:02 pm -The fastest way to gain muscle is by doing the right kind of workout. This doesn't equate to just the weight that you lift. Make sure you are not just lifting more and more weight.
Your muscle cells do not increase in number when your muscles grow. The increase in size is caused by an increase in size of those individual muscle cells. Did you know that your body's muscle cells are composed of as much as 80% liquid matter. The fluid inside these muscle cells is called ‘sarcoplasm’.
In order to gain muscle fast, you have to get more sarcoplasm in the muscle cells. Higher repetitions while using a lighter amount of weight is how this is done.
Training this way will not increase your strength as fast as lifting heavier weights. If your goal is to gain muscle mass it is important to switch to this lighter weight routine right away. The different between powerlifters and bodybuilders lie in this. Bodybuilders generally have more muscle mass, while powerlifters have more strength. They have different training regimens they go through, and as a result goes over differently.
This is why you will usually see a guy with huge muscles lifting smaller weights than a power lifter that has much smaller muscles. This is because the fastest way to gain muscle is not only about lifting more weights.
Your entire body can become fatigued if you lift weights that are really heavy. You can also build more specific muscle fatigue when you use lighter weights but at a higher repetition. Working to fatigue is what actually helps your muscles to grow in size.
As I mentioned earlier, doing higher repetitions with lighter weights will help build more muscle fatigue. You do have to keep in mind that you cannot rest very long if you want to establish muscle fatigue in your body. Don't rest more than 45 seconds between a set, exercising 4 sets altogether in your routine.
You have to do a lot more than a single exercise for a muscle group. You should try to work toward doing 3 exercises that work the same muscle group in each session.
8-12 reps per set is the best range to work with for this type of lower weight workout to build up proper muscle fatigue without over-training. This training method is the fastest way to gain muscle.
