Most people are aware nowadays of the most common guidelines to build muscle up fast so here we are going to focus on a few of the more overlooked pieces of advice that are gauranteed to put you on the fast track to muscle mass.

1) Avoid training for periods of more than 45 minutes a time. This is due to the fact that cortisol is released following longer periods of training. This hormone induces the body to ignore carbohydrate and fat stores as a form of energy and uses the bodys muscle sinstead. Of course this is far from what you are wanting to achieve. Also the level of testosterone, which is the bodies muscle building hormone drops at around the 45 minute to one hour mark. This double combination will stop muscle growth in its tracks. So hit the gym train hard and intensely and then leave and rest. Corisol levels are also considerably lower when you are at rest sleeping so getting plenty of sleep will aid you in muscle growth.

2) Squat. This is the number one muscle mass builder yet how often do you see people squatting in the gym, not often? Not very often. This exercise is truly a total body movement that needs maximum effort from the entire leg muscles, back and also the upper body muscles in terms of maintaining balance of the body, holding the bar and maintiaining correct posture throughout. It obviously creates huge quad muscles but also your back muscles are stressed a great deal and it is also a great response to the how to get big biceps question too as they also work hard to help keep the bar steady, if you don’t believe me, then try it at least. You can also shift a huge amount of weight doing the squat which is another reason it is great for building muscle. Furthermore it has a powerful systemic effect using the cardio-vascular system a great deal. The other exercise that you can try if you struggle to do squats is the deadlift.

3) Less is more in terms of gaining muscle mass. Many people find it difficult to take on board enough calories to build muscle up. In order to build muscle up your body requires and excess amount of calories available. If you train hard you then need to consume a lot of calories. Many people fail to do this and therefore will never grow regardless of how hard they train. Whilst eating more calories is part of the solution reducing the amount of training you do will also reduce the amount of calories you require. as mentioned before your session should last no longer then 45 -50 minutes and you can still stimulate lots of muscle growth in less time than this also. You might also want to do some aerobic workouts to maintain good general health which I agree with but don’t do a lot because this style of workout will again decrease that amount of calories available for muscle building.

If you have not previously been doing any of these three things then put these weight gain tips into action starting today and I am sure that you will see the difference very soon.
