Ok, so you want to build up muscles, you want to look like a Brad Pitt in the movie ‘Troy’ so you can get heaps of attention from the ladies on the beach or too impress your mates. You are aware of the essential rules of muscle building but you are after something extra to give you that additional boost to make even more muscle gains. Well, these tips are provided to ensure you do precisly that!
1) Train for no more than one hour. This is because when you are working out your body releases a hormone called cortisone that helps the body to recover and build up muscle. However after 45 minutes of training the body releases another hormone that pretty much does the opposite and is not good for muscle building. So, you are not likely to make a great deal of muscle gain if you pump iron for any longer than 60 minutes. The main point to realise here is that you ought not to work out for longer than an hour and that you must do so intensely.
2) Double the size of your meal portions. The biggest single mistake that people trying to gain muscle mass make is to not consume enough calories. To build up muscles it is essential that you eat more calories than you burn off during the day. If you do not have these extra calories you cannot build up muscle regardless how hard you train! A good idea is to buy plates and dishes that are twice the size of normal plates. Ok, this sounds strange but I’m sure you will never fail to remember that you should be eating more calories in order to build up your muscles.
3) Ingest a higher amount of protein. Ingest protein just before you sleep and straight after your workout. After your workouts you may experiences muscle soreness which is when you have torn your muscle fibres so this is when protein is needed.Immediately before sleeping is an extremely important time to consume protein as your body is about to go 8 hours before sleeping. You should be eating as a minimum one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight.
These are only three tips and there are a great deal more but these deal with a few of of the most common errors made. Now go ahead put them into practice and build muscle up with this no nonsense muscle building approach!
