The Fastest Way To Build Muscle Effectively

By Emmanuel Palmer


Summer is drawing near and you are panicking because you're still as pale and skinny as ever, what do you do? Go out buy a tanning lotion and enroll in your nearest gym as soon as possible. Thus far, in your single-minded mission on the fastest way to build muscle, you are on the right track.

While you're excited at the prospect on getting your fitness on, it's probably a good idea to learn the basics of muscle development. Experienced trainers understand the principle of progressive overload and they succeed in achieving the body they want by making it work for them. Essentially, this means that the body develops stronger tissues by creating a demand for it-which is having increasing amounts of weight put on it. This is the science of muscle building.

When you start training, have the in-house instructor check the weight load you will be lifting for the exercises you will undertake. Generally, the appropriate weight load is the heaviest one that you can carry until the 8th or 12th rep when your muscles can't take anymore. If you are training only for the purpose of developing strength lower weights or set of reps are recommended. Perform at least 8-12 reps of 8 sets per muscle area for quicker results.

During exercise, you create little tears in your muscle tissue which will eventually be repaired. To help accelerate this process, ensure that you take a lot of protein rich food in your diet. Great sources of protein are chicken, fish, lean meat and sea food-is it just me or does this sound good? The recommended protein intake you need daily can be computed by multiplying your lean mass weight in kilograms (body weight minus fat) by 2.75.

Experts on bodybuilding vary in their opinions on how much fat one should be allowed to take. If you really want to achieve that massive physique, then include fat in your diet. This boosts muscle building hormones found in your body. Keep an eye on your eating though; if you ever take a long hiatus from working out without modifying your eating habits, you will gain weight sans the muscles-read: not a pretty sight. Drink around 10-12 glasses of water a day to fuel your training sessions.

And last but definitely not the least; build bigger muscle by getting quality sleep. You read right, sleep is a very important and often overlooked factor in physical development. When you exercise and get tears in your muscles, a good rest work to repair these tissues effectively giving you bigger and stronger muscles. Sleep also stimulates blood flow to the other muscles, preparing it for the next day.

You just finished reading the simplest and fastest way to build muscle. Eat well, drink well, and sleep well-that doesn't really sound too hard now does it? Make sure that you do not have existing physical conditions that certain drills will aggravate; after that, you are free to make the most out of your training. Enjoy! Working out can be challenging but nothing beats seeing the great physique all that exercising has paid for.
