If you want to know how to gain muscle fast, then you need to understand and be aware, that there is more to it than just lifting weights and going to the gym everyday. In fact If you was to follow this process then you could actually slow down your muscle building development, and that is why you need to pay attention to the advice I am about to share with you in this article.

• How much training should you do? – This is a very important aspect of building muscle that needs your attention, although a lot of this depends on your age and fitness, you should be aiming to train at least 3 days per week. You should try to work on each muscle group at least once per week (chest, back, legs, biceps).

• Is there a certain amount of reps to do? – High intensity training should be your aim here, try to lift weights that you are comfortable with and bear in mind that the heavier the better. You should be aiming for muscular failure in your training, so reps of about 4-6 should be enough.

• What the hell is muscular failure? – Let me explain what muscular failure is, “If you are in the gym and are doing three sets of bar-bell curls, then the following will occur: You do the first set of 6 reps with no problems, the second set pretty much the same, but on your third set you get to the second rep and can not do it, however much you try, this is when you have reached muscular failure”.

• Why you need to rest up – It is very important that your body gets the required amount of time to rest after a workout. If you want to gain muscle fast, then the muscles need time to heal after the stress it receives from working-out in the gym, aim to have at least a days rest after each session, and try to remember, not getting enough rest in between work-outs can cause injury and slow down the muscle development stage.

• Fuel the muscle – Without eating the best muscle building food, your muscles will struggle to develop, (this is a fact by the way!), try to include foods that are high in protein, red meat, chicken and tuna are just a couple of protein rich foods that are very popular with bodybuilders.

By following and taking notice to what has been covered in this article, you will have set you muscle building regime of to the best possible start. As long as you stay committed, disciplined and sensible, then there is no reason why you should not be able to gain muscle fast.
