It's a question that hits my inbox nearly every day - "how can I build muscle fast"? Especially with the summer months finally here, more and more people are wanting to "buff up" and get in shape.
The good news is that there are certain steps you can take to jump-start your muscle building program and start packing on lean muscle quickly. Obviously it takes some dedication, but getting that dream body is worth a little bit or work right?
Ok let's get started. If you follow these steps and put your mind to it, you'll be getting the lean muscle you (and the ladies!) will love.
First off, you need to hit the gym a minimum of 5 times a week. No exceptions! Your weight training sessions should last no more than an hour - any longer and you're body won't be getting the most out of the training you are putting it through.
When you're at the gym, always keep two words in your head - "proper form"! I see far too many guys at the gym trying to lift far more weight than they should which causes them to throw their body all over the place. To build muscle fast, you need to make sure you are targeting each muscle properly. This means making sure you are isolating the muscle and using proper form. You might have to drop the weight a bit, but the results you will get will be FAR superior.
If you're looking to pack on the muscle quickly, I recommend structuring your workout into four day rotations as follows:
Day 1: Chest and Back
Day 2: Shoulder and Biceps
Day 3: Legs and Triceps
This way you can work all major muscle groups in a 3 day period. Obviously, if a certain body part is still extremely sore, don't push it and hurt yourself.
Lastly, you need to make a conscious effort to eat well and eat often. Make sure you eat at least six meals a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner along with three other smaller snacks consisting of 200-300 calories each and hopefully at least 10 grams of protein.
Supplementing with a protein powder is a good idea - you need to be taking in a lot of protein to give your muscles the fuel they need. Although you don't have to use a protein powder, make sure you are eating plenty of protein rich foods if you don't (chicken, fish, red meat, cottage cheese etc).
Building muscle fast and transforming your body quickly is entirely possible when you have the right action plan in place. Click here for a muscle building plan that you can start using to build muscle quickly and get the body most people can only dream of having!
