Increasing Your Muscle Mass With 5 Simple Steps

By Russ Howe


If you are confused as to how to build muscle in the gym, today's post is specifically for you. Seriously, drop everything and read these tips. Because alongside how to lose weight effectively, this is undoubtedly the number one topic we're quizzed on at the gym by customers.

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) You Still Need To Diet.

2) Know Your Supplements.

3) Structure Your Workouts To Your Goal.

4) The Importance Of Rest.

5) Get Enough Sleep.

Some of these tips seem like common sense. One and three, for example. But we're amazed by how many people do these wrong. For instance. the first tip is about simply dieting to build rather than dieting to cut. Most people who are trying to get bigger don't even look after their diet. They have a false idea that in order to gain size you just have a post-workout protein shake and then eat whatever you like for the rest of the time.

While you may be striving to add more size to your body, we're pretty sure you don't mean fat.

In order to get bigger but also stay lean you have to diet. In the video we reveal how to work out your ideal diet to add lean tissue without storing lots of fat in the process. This simply works and has stood the test of time.

People also have a laid back approach when it comes to supplements. They're sold on hype. So many gym users take a protein or another product because they liked the promises on the packaging about what it would do. Take a few seconds to learn the basics on supplements so you can spot a good one from a bad one, otherwise you'll be constantly jumping between products.

The key word to remember here is supplement. It's intended to be an extra. Be sure to get the majority of your diet from the food you eat rather than the sports supplements you use. A decent whey protein and some creatine monohydrate is all you need.

Tip three is about your time in the gym. If you want to get bigger, you need to train bigger. That doesn't necessarily mean longer, either. Stick to the hardcore basic exercises such as Deadlifts and Pull Ups. These multi-joint exercises are spectacular for building up strength and size.

Rest is the most overlooked rule. Once you begin enjoying your training you don't want to take a day off, understandably. But the truth is you hinder yourself if you train too much, particularly with this type of long-term goal. Beware of over-training.

Sleeping is also a key ingredient in this type of diet. In order to release growth hormone your body needs to be asleep. If you fail to get enough sleep you sell yourself short. It's that simple.

So there you have it. We recently gave five tips showing you how to lose weight and keep it off, today we focus on how to build muscle and you'll notice the tips are no more difficult. Apply these to your current training routine and you'll see great returns on each of the steps.
