The Big Muscle Building Misunderstanding

By Russ Howe

The vast majority of male gym users have asked for tips on how to build muscle at some stage or another. For some reason it's rare to see a man that actually achieves the physique he wants and today we're going to reveal why so many of us get lost in the shuffle.

Walk into any fitness center and you will see the same characters struggling away day after day, month after month to no results. Sure, it's fun to train with weights but ultimately you want results for your efforts, right? Today we'll set you on your way.

What's more, all of today's steps are completely free.

If you don't know how to build muscle today's interview will assist you a lot.

Before you jump into your next workout be sure to set aside some time to set out your diet plan. That's right, your diet plan. There is a common misunderstanding that you don't need to watch what you eat when you want to get bigger, because the word diet is usually associated with weight loss. You won't get far if your nutrition is terrible.

For the most part, however, guys tend to skip straight past that part and believe that building a muscular physique can be achieved by eating whatever they want and lifting weights with their friends. One of the main reasons people put this off is because they think it's harder than it actually is.

It is very easy to work out how many calories per day you need to eat to achieve a certain goal with your body. In terms of building a bigger physique a great method is to take your desired body weight in pounds and multiply by 15.

That daily calorie target is a very achievable and solid ball park figure.

Of course, diet is not the only important thing when it comes to building a better body. Now we'll look at some other contributing factors.

When we think about getting enough sleep we usually presume it could impact our sessions and hold us back in the gym through feeling tired. Believe it or not this isn't the main reason you should try to get your eight hours. When you're in a deep sleep your body releases more growth hormone, allowing you to produce even better results as your muscles recover from the last punishing session. Don't miss this by cutting short your sleep.

The arena of supplements has become an ever popular one over the last decade and we'd like to discuss this with you now to keep you on the straight and narrow, so to speak. It is quite easy to get lost in today's market, every product claims to work wonders and be the best thing ever invented. Never put too much emphasis on a supplement.

Keep things simple. A whey protein supplement and a creatine monohydrate supplement is all you need to get started and these are the two bodybuilding supplements with by far the most scientific support behind them.

The simple points in today's video post will teach you the fundamental basics of how to build muscle and retain it forever. It's time to get started. By the time you're ready for your next gym session you should be equipped with a fountain of new confidence.
