So it seems like all the hard work in the gym, the expensive supplements, the healthy living just hasn’t paid off? You desperately want that glorious beach body but nothing seems to work? Never fear, these 3 killer muscle building techniques and tips will have you putting on more muscle that Arnold Schwarzenegger with a lot less work!
Ok, so let’s get started. Here are your 3 muscle building exercises and tips.
1. The big 2. Squats and Dead lifts. These “animal exercises” are just the thing if you want to pack on muscle and quickly. These 2 big exercises work out over 75% of your musculature including your back, shoulders, chest, calves and core muscles. Furthermore these 2 “animal exercises” create more intensity and strain in your body than most other exercises which result in more growth hormones being produced which results in fast growth in muscle mass. These exercises can be used by anyone and is particularly effective for some of the skinner guys.
2. Focus more attention on actually getting stronger. By becoming stronger you will have much better technique, perform at a higher level, lift more and recover better. This will result in big muscles for you. A good way to get stronger is to focus on the compound exercises such as, dead lifts, pull ups, chin ups, bench presses, barbell rows, over head presses, squats, leg presses and dips. These may be some of the more basic exercises but they are vital in terms of building muscle and building muscle quickly. This is because (like tip one) they focus on the big muscle groups instead of the smaller. Focus on weak muscles- and you’ll end up with weak muscles.
3. Intensity, intensity, INTENSITY. Weight lifting can actually become a bit of a lazy man’s sport. Most people spend the majority of the time at the gym having large breaks, looking at themselves in the mirror and chatting to others. Hustle from one exercise to the other, keep your rest periods honest and include some cardio in your workout. There is a common myth out there that cardio can make it hard to build muscle. In fact the opposite is true. Cardio helps your muscle recover and therefore grow, and is a must if you want to build muscle. Moreover if you don’t feel like you want to throw up at the end of a hard workout then I have to question your intensity. That may some fairly extreme, but if you want to build muscle then you have to work at it.
Ok, so now that you know my 3 killer building muscle exercises and tips, you are one (large) step closer to getting than dream beach body you are after. You can either remember and apply these tips and reap the benefits or continue doing what 99% of others are doing and not see any benefits. How much intensity and effort you put into weight lifting shows on your body. Train hard but also train smart.
