3 Important Tips to Build Muscle Faster - Get Lean and Ripped
By

Let's face it... building muscle is not the easiest thing to
accomplish even despite regular hard workout schedules and trying every
type of workout and supplement.
I struggled for years to gain any significant muscle mass, but over the years in my personal training business and with my own experimentation have found some important things that have helped make significant muscle gains possible even for hard-gainers.
So, I'm going to give 3 important tips here so you can start building lean muscle mass faster and easier.
1. Make sure that 95% of the exercises you perform regularly in the gym are big multi-joint compound exercises. It doesn't matter if your goal is fat loss or building muscle... big multi-joint exercises should comprise 95% of the exercises you do in your workouts if you want to get lean, ripped, and powerful.
It's easiest to think of it in terms of the major movement patterns such as these (focus 95% of your workouts on these):
2. Train hard and intensely 3-4 days/week for 45-60 minutes per weight training workout. Keep your workouts to no longer than 60 minutes as training too much beyond this point can trigger excess catabolism. You want to stay anabolic, but you still need to train your body hard and intensely enough to trigger muscle growth.
Try a super-set style of workout program to maximize the intensity that you can train. My favorite combinations are opposing upper and lower body movement patterns that don't interfere with each other, such as squats coupled with pullups as a super-set, or bench press coupled with dead-lifts as a super-set.
Don't underestimate the effectiveness of these types of upper/lower body super-sets done with heavy weights and a high intensity. The first time in my life that I experienced significant muscle mass gains were when I started doing these types of workout combos regularly (although still mixing up my training variables).
These are mainstays of almost any effective workout program -- caloric intake can simply be adjusted whether your goal is fat burning or gaining muscle mass.
3. Eat clean with quality whole foods... REAL foods instead of highly processed over-hyped supplement powders and bars.
The quality of protein (and additional nutrition from vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants) are best assimilated by the body from real whole food such as eggs, meats, dairy (preferably raw), fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc. instead of from processed protein powders, chemical-laden bars, and meal replacements.
Forget about the hyped up workouts in the muscle mags that only work for pro bodybuilders or people on steroids. Forget about the over-hyped supplement "stacks" that pay the bills for almost every muscle mag... Instead, make these tips in this article part of your lifestyle, and you'll see muscle gains and a leaner, ripped body like you've never seen before!

It's easiest to think of it in terms of the major movement patterns such as these (focus 95% of your workouts on these):
- upper body horizontal press (bench press, pushups, dips),
- upper body horizontal rows (1-arm dumbbell rows, seated cable rows, bent over barbell rows),
- upper body vertical pull (lat pulldowns, pullups, chinups),
- upper body vertical press (overhead dumbbell and barbell presses, barbell or kettlebell clean & presses)
- lower body squatting movements (front squats, back squats, overhead squats, bodyweight squats, etc)
- -lower body dead-lifting movements (regular dead=lifts, sumo deadlifts, Romanian dead-lifts)
- lower body single leg movements (lunges, step-ups, jump lunges, etc)
- abdominal and core exercises (these are important, but still are 2nd priority after all of the major upper body and lower body multi-joint movements... your abs and core will be worked from most major multi-joint exercises anyway)
2. Train hard and intensely 3-4 days/week for 45-60 minutes per weight training workout.

the world of medical fears, few things rank as high as cancer. For
many people, a cancer diagnosis challenges their view of themselves as a
"healthy person." Fortunately, many cancers are curable. You can
survive cancer and be healthy. A basic understanding of how cancer
develops can help you take advantage of what nutrition has to offer.
Food can and should be a part of your plan for reducing the risk of
cancer, and the risk of getting cancer again if you've already had it. To read and comment on the complete article, entitled "How to Turn Off the Cancer Switch" - By Suzanne Dixon, go here. |

Stretching is a very important part of fitness and should be included in every workout. When you stretch, you increase your flexibility, which reduces the chance of injury from exercise. Stretching also improves circulation, increases energy levels, and just feels good! Stretching is the key to any exercise! Without proper stretching, you will never achieve the full benefits of any exercise. Dave demonstrates six key stretching exercises to help enhance your range of motion and prevent injury. http://www.selfgrowth.com/video/top_6_stretching_exercises Courtesy of Active.com |
