Here are 5 easy to follow tips to boosting your weight loss program and the truth about building muscle. 1. Building lean muscle mass takes time and sacrifice. You are not going to "earn" the body you desire without spending time in the gym. You will need to spend 5 days a week and up to 1 1/2 hours a day in the gym. Get over it already. Sacrificing your time to "earn" the body you want is well worth it when the journey ends.
2. You do not have to spend lots of time doing cardio. I am not lying, your exercise training weight program does not have to be back ended with heavy doses of cardio. One of the truth about building muscle is cardio can be removed from any weight loss training program. As long as your are following a strict eating schedule, or as body builders like to call it, "eating clean".
3. Proper form can explode your lean muscle gains. How many times have you seen someone using poor lifting form in the gym? I see the same mistakes over and over in the gym. You have seen these newcomers also, do not lie to yourself or them. They are the ones who add too much weight and are straining to do their proper amount of reps. They swing the dumbbells all over hell and back and believe that they are on a quick route to building muscle mass. The truth about building muscle escapes them time and time again. In order to build lean muscle mass you must use proper weight lifting form and use a proper amount of weight.
4. You need to squeeze the muscle at the top of every rep, no matter what body part you are working to build. For example, say you are doing a simple exercise like bicep curls. You will want to squeeze the biceps at the top of each rep. So, when the muscle has contracted and you lift the dumbbell up, it's time to squeeze the biceps.
5. Proper nutrition is essential to building lean muscle mass. You will need to consume near 1.5 gms of protein for evey pound you weigh. You will need to cut back on carbohydrates, not quit carbs but cutback. I cycle my carbs every two - three days. For instance, I only eat a complex carbohydrate every morning, usually oatmeal.
But, usually every third day I cycle carbs into my diet. You must remember to only cycle complex carbs into your diet. Simple carbs contain to many sugars and can cause your blood sugar to spike. When your blood sugar spikes it causes fluctuations in your metabolism and it usually slows your metabolism down, its a simple truth about building muscle. |
