So much of the information that is available to the mainstream public is based solely on tradition. Things are done a certain way because that’s how it’s been done for decades. Why do we do 3 sets of 10? Because that’s what we learned somewhere along the way.
Too bad tradition has nothing to do with results.
Believe it or not, there is actually a science to how the body responds to exercise. It’s called “Exercise Science" or “Kinesiology". This is what I have a degree in. Without it there is no way I would be allowed to work with professional athletes.
99% of the information in the mainstream has no scientific basis whatsoever. This is why 99% of people get less than optimal results from their exercise program. Sure, they make excuses that it’s their genetics or lack of time, but this is rarely the case.
DON’T GIVE UP! THE FACTS ARE OUT THERE.YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK!
2. Stop bargain shopping.
Would you bargain shop for a surgeon?
What if I told you he was really good, he just wasn’t officially a “surgeon"?
I hope the answer is no. And it should be same answer for anything that affects your body, including your training and nutrition program.
Look, there are a lot of cheap muscle building products out there that promise the world but don’t deliver. You have probably used some of these before (I know I have), whether it was a supplement or a training program. Were you happy with the results? The point is, you get what you pay for.
If you are serious about results, quit bargain shopping. Find the best source of information and do it right the first time.
3. Stop listening to self-appointed experts.
If I told you to go to an expert for exercise advice, where would you go? The personal trainers at your gym? An article written by a pro bodybuilder? One of the virtual experts that is selling his latest get-rich-quick scheme?
These self-appointed experts are the reason that most people who workout never see results. It makes me sick to see them ruin this industry with pseudo-science and hyperbole.
Did you know?
Most personal training certifications require nothing more than a weekend training course. How do I know? I’ve designed these courses in the past, only to see my hard work go to waste. These courses exist for the sole purpose of making money, not education. A personal training certification is proof of nothing more than the willingness to spend a few hundred dollars.
Did you know?
100% of pro bodybuilders are on steroids and a variety of other drugs.This means that no matter what type of workout they do, they still gain muscle! Unless you are on steroids (and I would strongly advise against it), there is absolutely no reason why you should listen to their advice!
Did you know?
Nearly all of the muscle building programs available are created by personal trainers, steroid users, or guys who are genetic freaks.These guys learned what worked for them and then put it into a program. Will it work for you? Maybe or maybe not. These are hit-or-miss programs because they are not tailored to the individual. The concept of individualization is completely foreign to these authors.
If you want real results you can’t rely on some two-bit personal trainer, self-appointed internet expert, or the biggest guy in your gym. Since they have no scientific knowledge, don’t know what works for you, and use steroids, these information sources cannot help you!
4. Look at your training program.
I am amazed at how many people reason with themselves. They get little or no results from the latest supplement, but they don’t hesitate to buy when the next supplement or other fast muscle building secret comes out. They will throw-away hundreds of dollars a month on supplements, but never think to look at their training program.
Most supplements don’t work at all. And even the ones that do provide only marginal benefits. You can have all the supplements in the world, but if you don’t have a scientifically-backed training and nutrition program your gains will be virtually non-existent. Sure, you might get lucky and put on a few pounds here or there, but can you do it over and over again? A five pound muscle gain doesn’t look like much, but when you do it every month for 6 months, you’ve completely transformed your body.
How Build Muscle Fast
Discovering how to build muscle fast is the dream of every young boy as he is growing up. And of course, once we get to the girl watching stage we really want to build muscle fast! I remember reading the comic books as a young boy and seeing all the ads for Mr. Atlas trying to get us young ones to talk our parents into buying the techniques to build our muscle fast. Never could get my parents to send in the money so it wasn't until I was 57 years old that I finally decided to give one of these programs a try. And I have not been disappointed. Below are four tips I have discovered on how to build muscle fast.
Tip #1 on how to build muscle fast is to get started. I know that should be a given but believe me I waited for almost 50 years to get started. No I have not become Mr. Atlas. I have however, lost my belly fat, or love handles as my wife called them, and the hanging flab on my arms is gone and they are now solid. So get off of the couch and get going.
Tip #2 on how to build muscle fast is to follow a program religiously. Get yourself a routine and stick to it. Repetition is important in changing your habits. Building muscle has to be a lifestyle change or you will not succeed. The e-book I bought was essential in getting my mind adjusted correctly so that I could build my muscle fast. And when I say "build muscle fast" I do not mean overnight. It will take a couple of weeks to start seeing results but it will be worth it all.
Tip #3 on how to build muscle fast is to begin eating right. A proper nutritional diet will do wonders for not only your muscle building but also your all around health. Recent science reports have said that having belly fat after you are forty can lead to dementia and a number of other major health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Proper nutrition and a good exercise program will do wonders for your health. It sure has been a boom for me and at 58 years young I am in better shape now than I was ten years ago. That is important to me as I desire to ride my HD Fatboy motorcycle as a fit and trim old man.
Tip #4 on how to build fast fast will require you to add more force in lifting. You don't want to start out too fast but you will want to add heavier weights in your routine as soon as it is possible. Rather than doing 4 sets of 5 reps with 30 lbs push it to 60 lbs and do 1 set of 12 reps. the more you push your muscles to the breaking point the quicker you will build them. However, you must be careful that you do not over train! Give your muscles a chance to recover. You do not need to lift heavy weights every day. I only heavy lift three times a week and then I do some aerobic stuff the other days. I want to not only look a little buff I also want to be healthy.
I hope these four tips on how to build muscle fast has been a help to your success in building your muscle. You can do it to, young or old, the methods I found in the e-book I purchased worked wonders for me.
