Today's post will feature five foundations of building lean, fat free tissue. Whether you're looking to become a man-mountain or just simply improve your physique, let's get to work.
1) Change Your Diet To Gain Size And Strength.
2) Know Your Supplements.
3) Your Workouts Need To Be Strength And Size Focused.
4) Don't Forget To Rest Up.
5) Get Enough Sleep.
These foundations are used by bodybuilders, athletes and newcomers alike. They work, there's no question about it. The first rule concerns your diet. Most people don't watch what they eat when trying to bulk up and in return they look nothing like what they set out to achieve.
You're trying to build a physique the right way, after all, and there are two ways to get bigger we all know that.
Watch the video incorporated into today's post to learn how to sort out your diet. The simple system shown is proven to work.
Rule number two is about knowing your supplements. Too often, people are all too quick to take a product without truly knowing what they're actually putting into their body, what it's supposed to be doing for them or why they even need it.
When it comes to bodybuilding supplements it pays to stick to the proven basics. Creatine and whey protein, for example, are both proven and side effect free. Get the rest of your nutrients from your diet, don't over rely on pills and potions.
Our 3rd step is all about working out. I've lost count of the number of times people have told me they're trying to get bigger and then I see them in the gym doing a routine which is never going to get them there. If you crave size, compound exercises like Squats and Military Presses are your best friend.
Resting your muscles is very important, too. Most of us get hooked on the feeling of getting results in the gym and don't want to skip days. While that's great, it's actually holding you back. Learn to curb your enthusiasm in exchange for consistent gains.
Sleep is also important, as your body releases it's stores of natural growth hormone during this type. Fail to get enough sleep and you don't let this happen, obviously. Aim for 6-8 hours every night.
People are often shocked to discover that the basics of how to build muscle work fat better than the hyped up complex theories put forward by every other gym user. The same goes for those trying to figure out how to lose weight properly, who often encounter the exact same type of confusion. But that's another post. As for gaining size and strength, these tips simply work.
