Carbohydrate loading – The number tip in building muscle is to gain a good healthy amount of weight. A body will only build muscle if it has an excess of calories even after a full calorie burning workout. This surplus in calories allows the body to repair any tissue damage caused by the exercise routine as well as assist in building new muscle. In order to achieve this, your calorie intake must be 20 times your actual weight.

Intake of Fat – Muscle growth and stimulation is highly dependent on hormones. The production of hormones in the body has been directly linked to the amount of fat introduced into your system. Research indicates that testosterone production in the body and fat are proven to be directly related. However, implementing the right fat is crucial. Saturated fats are bad for the body and should be avoided as they are linked to heart disease and stroke. The correct fats are EFA’s or Essential Fatty Acids. These particular fats are not produced by the human body and must be supplied by food or supplement drinks. The most common EFA’s are omega 3 and 6.

Cleansing the body – Detoxifying the body is important for everyone, but is essential in muscle building. Removing and repairing the damage from free radicals allows the body to remain strong and healthy. In order to achieve this cleansing, anti-oxidants must be introduced. The most common are vitamins A, C, E, Selenium, Glutathione and a good multi-vitamin. Now is the time to ask yourself if you are up for the challenge of muscle building. This sport or desire requires extreme commitment, dedication and will power. Below are a few more helpful tips to guide you on your journey of achieving muscle.

Water Intake – All physicians recommend that everyone drink at least 32 ounces or 8 glasses of water a day in order to keep the body hydrated and cleansed. This is especially important in the pursuit of muscle building. As the protein intake increases, toxins begin to build up in the kidneys, liver and bloodstream. Water is a naturally pure resource that rehydrates after an intense workout regimen as well as flushes toxins from the body. If the body is denied proper hydration, serious kidney damage can occur.

Rest – Proper rest after exercise is the best-kept secret on your muscle building journey. Muscles are not built during exercise; they are built during the resting phase. Carbo load, train regularly and hard. Lastly allow your body to have sufficient rest.

Persistence – As they say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day” and neither will your muscle building goals be achieved that quickly. Hard work, dedication and commitment will help lead you down the path to your muscle building goal.

Proper Equipment – Using the proper equipment to engage and workout each muscle group is essential in the muscle building process. Each free weight must have variable resistance. In addition, heavy weights should also be used in your workout regimen so long as they incorporate the proper weight to conduct a series of only eight repetitions. Low reps and heavy weights have been proven to build muscle as they stimulate the muscle and nerve system. Another important issue is technique. It is just as important as using the proper equipment because you risk wasting your time using the right equipment and poor technique. Furthermore, improper technique combined with the wrong equipment can cause irreversible and permanent damage to the body.

Sectioning Your Workout – Dividing your workout amongst specific muscle groups on certain days is a great way to not only impede the inevitable boredom exercise brings, but it also allows each muscle group to rest and recover, therefore building more muscle at a higher rate.
