How to add muscle mass in 3 easy ways

March 13th, 2009

Adding muscle mass is not such a big mystery. To be a bodybuilder you need to have the mass and then sculpt it. Many people want to build muscle mass to be stronger, better looking or more athletic.

Whatever your reason, here is how to pack on some muscle mass right now.

Use free weights
Free weight trump machines any day. They ensure that you are holding all the weight and bring in other muscle groups. You need to work other muscles even if you don’t realise it. Also, with free weights, you will focus on the big compound lifts that make you big and strong

Use compound movements
If you want to be big, strong and build muscle then you need to focus on the hardest exercises in the gym. These are the compound exercises. Build size and strength with the best compound movements.

Eat more
The more protein that you eat, the better – in simple terms. You also need to eat quality carbs that pack on muscle size and give you the bulk you need to life heavy. Don’t eat junk food. Eat more meat to get your protein. The animal fats will help you to be strong and you will gain good muscle mass.

What Does Whey Protein Do?

February 21st, 2009

Here is a very quick breakdown of what whey protein does…

Protein levels in the body are depleted during workouts (and whey protein contains amino acids).

We need both essential and non-essential amino acids as they fuel the rebuilding of muscle, and are a precursor necerassy for it.

Whey protein happens to contain these amino acids at the right level for rapid intake and usage. This increases both hormonal and cellular response if taken right after a workout. As such, it helps to build muscle, reduces muscle deterioration, and enhances endurance.

The benefit of whey protein is that it contains branched-chain amino acids.

These have the ability to be metalbolised directly into the muscle instead of the liver like other amino acids, thus improving your bodybuilding or fitness training.

Fitness Overload Principle

February 15th, 2009

Fitness and exercise must be done at a higher level than usual to bring physique transformations.  Once your body has adapted to the higher level of exercise or weight it will function more effectively and efficiently.  The overload can be obtained by manipulating various combinations of exercise frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise.

Increasing intensity, duration and frequency can be helpful for running, cycling or swimming, and increasing resistance and repetitions can improve strength training or build muscle mass.
