5 Tips How To Start Building Muscle - Part 3

Now Notice Of Something When You Go To Your Gym:

One of the things that you will notice when you go to your gym is that many of the same people are there every day and they never seem to look any different. It makes you wonder whether going to the gym is actually effective! I want to share some effective techniques with you that will help you break this trend so that you can actually build muscle when you go to your gym:

1. Complete a High Number of Reps -
The first thing to work on is to complete a high number of reps when lifting weights; complete at least 8 reps per set. Many people who are trying to improve their personal fitness levels just run in and out of the gym, only completing a small number of reps.

2. Make Sure you're Lifting Enough Weight -
You have to make sure that you are lifting enough weight as if you are not, you will not be building muscle, but merely maintaining your current state. When you are lifting, you need to slowly increase the amount of weight that you lift in increments. Your muscles will build as you stretch your personal limits; just be careful to take it slow so that you don’t cause any damage.

3. Create a Regular Fitness Routine -
Thing that you need to do is create a regular fitness routine. If you only go to the gym every once and a while, you will not be able to build muscle effectively, if at all. Regular fitness routines and lifting routines will help your body to build muscle.

4. Focus on One Health Aspect at a Time -
Factor to consider when you are looking to build muscle is to focus on one health aspect at a time- either focuses on losing weight or on building muscle. It can be challenging for most people to do both at the same time. One of the primary things is that it can be very draining when you are heavy lifting, causing you not to have the energy necessary to devote to cardiovascular training. Even if you have the energy to do a bit of cardio before you lift weights, it will take away energy that you will need during your weight training program.

5. Common Mistake – Cardio Training with Weight Training -
most common mistake that people make when they are trying to build muscle is that they rotate cardio training with weight training. Some people even do cardio on their non lifting days, taking away the time that your muscles need to rest in between workouts.
