5 Tips for Gaining Muscle Mass

1.Hire A Trainer:

Hire a personal trainer or get a workout partner with bodybuilding experience. It’s always best to learn from those who have been there and understand the type of training and nutrients your body needs. This is especially important if you plan to compete

2.Lift Heavy:

Most people who are trying to build muscle do not use an adequately heavy weight. You should be lifting in the range of 8-12 repetitions per set, performing 3-8 sets per exercise, and using a weight that leads to muscle failure by the end of each set

3.Use Compound Exercises:

Squats, deadlifts, military presses, dips, pushups, rows and chin ups should be your main exercise as Squats are king of the muscle builders, and they are not bad for your knees unless your form is horrible and/or you are half-squatting.

4.Eat Like A Man:

Some guys who complain about not being able to gain size just aren’t getting the job done in the kitchen. Proper muscle building nutrition is much more than broccoli, rice and chicken breasts. Eat a variety of whole foods each week.Eat more red meat. Eat more eggs, including the yolks. Egg yolks are nutritionally dense.You have to increase your calories in take for gaining mass.Drink plenty of water. Then drink more.

5.Good Sleep:

Sleep is when you recover and grow. Deep sleep boosts your growth hormone and testosterone levels and also helps manage your cortisol levels and improve your insulin sensitivity. Without sufficient sleep your results will suffer dramatically.
