Physical Health Guide

Many thousands of bodybuilders that regularly go to a gym in order to add lean body mass. They struggle for a much improved physique but all too often they do not reach their goals.

As the weeks pass by they become progressively frustrated with their absence of muscle increase.

This can be a very common problem for someone expessing a desire to improve their body shape, which is why many people stop, thinking that they are by some means unable to add body mass.

So why does this happen to so many of us and what can you do to resolve it?

From my knowledge, the people who do not make extremely good muscle mass increases in the gym make similar mistakes over and over again.  Read on below to see if you are making these everyday mistakes, with answers for every problem.

1.    Hardgainers choose the incorrect exercise routines to achieve their aims, often following specialized bodybuilding programs from bodybuilding magazines.

This is no use for the typical guy or girl, and in particular for beginners.

In order to increase muscle fast you must train for approximately 45 mins with weights, performing no more than 3 sets per exercise. Keep your sets at no more than 15 sets per workout visit.

It does nothing to benefit you by performing 20+ sets and devoting many hours at the gym.

2.    Doing the same bodybuilding training routine month after month, even though they have not made any evident muscle gains.

To be able to build solid body mass you must change your bodybuilding program every 12 weeks maximum. Our body’s have a kind of muscle memory so it quickly gets used to the same muscle training routine you repeat each week.

You have got to shock your muscles by altering your body building workouts regularly.

3.    Not having days off from weight training.

I routinely take up to 1 week off half way through every body building program.

This gives my muscles time off to recuperate and revitalize.  I’ve done this for many years now and I haven’t had a serious injury while doing so..

Another benefit is that I usually see increased strength after I’ve taken a week off.

4.    Weight training on successive days.

Doing body building workouts that entail using heavy weights puts a lot of pressure on your body. It can even take up to 24 hours to restore your glycogen reserves. Therefore, ensure you train no more than 2 consecutive days. You are then allowing your body will replenish itself, resulting in optimal energy reserves when you exercise at the gym.

5.    You rely on muscle building supplements to make up for a bad diet.

The vast majority of bodybuilding supplements are nothing more than high priced marketing gimmicks. They drain your income of hard earned money and do zilch to build mass. Even if you spend $100 a week on body building supplements, it would make no more than 10% difference to your lean muscle mass gains.

All body building workouts should be organized around a stable dietary plan.

You must ensure that you feed your muscles with the nutrients it needs in order to produce lean body mass.

Summing Up

In order to build mass quicker than you have ever thought possible, you must ignore the usual bodybuilding methods that you have picked up in the past from well known body builders in muscle magazines.
Hardgainers in particular can adapt their muscle building programs and stop repeating the frequent mistakes I’ve mentioned above. Make these changes and should see some remarkable results!
