- By: TYLER FOO
Have you any idea on how to build lean,shredded muscles? If your idea of gaining muscle is joining a gym, hitting the gym religiously and training each and every body part routinely, drinking some protein shakes, trying to eat as much chicken and tuna as you possibly can, you’re on the right track!Are you in disbelief that it really is that simple? It actually is. However, since we don’t live in the perfect world, your monthly gym membership, regular weight training workouts and casual eating habits, isn't going to cut it.
The following are three simple steps on how to gain big muscles FAST!
1. Include Squats and Deadlifts in your workouts
Squats and deadlifts are very powerful exercises that can help increase power and muscle mass. Think of these two exercises as the essential building blocks of your whole muscle-building journey.
Without them, your results won’t be as good as the other guy that does squats and deadlifts. These two exercises alone work out the majority of your muscle groups, which includes your shoulders, arms, back, traps, hams, calves and core muscles.
Squats and deadlifts are exercises that are of great intensity that will force your body to release more amounts of growth hormones, which results in bigger muscles. More muscles translates to more strength which means you can train with heavier weights and build more muscle! How cool is that?
2. Use Compound Exercises
Compound exercises are exercises that work more than 1 muscle group at the same time. If your aim is to get big muscles, then compound exercises are a must in your training program.
If all you do is focusing on building your puny muscles like forearms and calves, then all you’ll get is what you focused on- puny muscles!
3. Keeping your rest periods honest
It’s a rare sight these days to see people use their watch to time their rest periods. Honest rest periods are crucial if you’re committed to building big muscles.
As a rule of thumb, the heavier you lift, the longer your rest periods should be. And the higher number of reps you train, the shorter the rest period.
Having an honest rest period is important in tracking your improvement in performance. If you could bench press 135lbs this week but only managed 125lbs last week, that’s a great improvement if you did not cheat on your rest periods. If you took a longer rest period to achieve that result, it does not mean you became stronger.
Conclusion
Now you understand that just showing up in the gym and drinking some protein shakes is not going to build big muscles fast. Apply these 3 simple steps and I bet that everyone will be able to see a more muscular you in no time.
