Achieving Gains
You want to put on some significant muscle.
What do you do to make sure you get the maximum results from your workout.
The worst thing that can happen from a months worth of workouts is ending out the month with little or no gains.
Why does this happen.
Sometimes you just might be so well conditioned that it becomes very difficult to achieve an increase in your current mass.
Others have just hit a plateau.
Is there a way to blast through plateaus.
Of course there is.
The first thing you need to do is assess your present fitness level.
Then if you are not considered to be near your peak then start by designing a program to mix it up and change your normal routine.
You want to do something different every few weeks.
If you have been doing basic weight lifting try doing some body weight exercises.
You can wear weighted vests to increase muscle stress.
Super sets are also a favorite nowadays with experienced lifters.
Do a set to failure and immediately after the first set do another set to failure using a different muscle group.
Also when you plan your workouts make sure you are lifting the most weight you can for a maximum of 10 reps and as few as 6 reps.
The last 2 to 3 should be hard.
The key here is not getting comfortable with your workouts.
Your diet should consist of a calorie surplus of about 500 calories according to your calorie expenditure.
You want to eat as much protein as you can while restricting your carbs but not to the point that you lose energy in your workouts.
Counting carbs isn't as important here as when you are cutting weight because you want to gain weight.
You want to use a mass gainer to get those extra calories and also to recover.
Just make sure you drink your shake within thirty minutes of completion of your workout.
Make sure you get plenty of fruits and vegetables and a limited amount of healthy fats.
You may need to adjust your calories up or down little to perfect your diet.
If you are at the point where nothing works and you are already very fit you probably need to train like a power lifter or bodybuilder to see anymore gains.
This takes extreme dedication not only to lifting but also to your nutritional intake.
This is only a few options when it comes to increasing muscle growth but with these tips and all of the many options for lifting, you can build your own muscle building program with ease.
