The Zero Jargon Approach To Building Muscle

By Russ Howe


As a Fitness Instructor I know that most people who use the gym are lost. For guys, the main problem is they want to know how to build muscle but they don't know where to ask. Today we're going to reveal to you the top proven methods for packing on some lean muscle mass in no time.

Let us begin by assuring you it isn't as hard as if sounds.

Too many people are hasty in the gym and, in a bid for quick results, they overlook the most important factors in favor of spending their hard earned cash on unnecessary aids which don't do anything for them in terms of results.

Better still, you can workout without doubting yourself or your techniques because you know that everything you're doing is scientifically proven to work.

* You need a muscle building diet.

* Keep your supplements minimal to begin with.

* Workout to hit your hypertrophy zone.

* Rest days need to take priority.

* Make sure you get enough sleep each night.

The five principles above basically detail how to get the body you may have always wanted. Follow them, set them at the foundation of your workout regime and reap the results for years to come. You can do more, of course, which will be discussed in future videos. But for now the basics will enable you to stop the plateau you're currently sitting in and push forward once more.

Before we wrap up today's write-up, let's take a quick look at some of the principles to ensure you have no gray areas...

Most people assume that to get bigger you can just eat whatever you want. You should only do that if you're not bothered what type of size you're adding. If you want to stay lean as you grow, which most guys do, you need to set up a few basic diet rules to begin with. Multiply your target body weight, in pounds, by fifteen and this will give you a ball park figure to aim for each day.

When it comes to bodybuilding supplements it is even easier to get lost. There is a lot of money to be made here for companies, so they try their best to tell you their new formula is the greatest thing ever made. This often leads to the market looking soaked, with every product claiming to be the one you need the most. The truth is you can get incredibly far with the absolute basics as far as supplements go. Pack in a good whey protein, couple it with a creatine monohydrate product and you are good to go, my friend.

To write out your workout routine you need to remember two simple things. Firstly, big compound movements like bench press and squat are far more effective at building lean muscle mass than smaller isolation exercises like bicep curls. Secondly, your reps should fall into the hypertrophy zone and avoid the endurance zone. This means using a weight on every set which causes you to stop after 8-12 reps.

In the next article we will cover some more of the principles explaining how to build muscle so you can begin getting great, long lasting results from your tough efforts in the gym.
