How to Build Muscle: Tips and Tricks

In this blog, I am going to give you several muscle building tips and tricks that most people neglect and are the reasons as to why they do not build muscle when working out.

Tips:

1. When you want to build muscle, momentum is an enemy. Therefore, any exercise you do should go at a speed of 4 seconds for positive motion and 4 seconds for your negative motion.

2. Just because a work out is long, doesn't mean it will build muscle. Most people mistake working out longer for working out harder. This is a mistake. In fact, if you are looking to build muscle, a good work out should be no more than 45 minutes to 1 hour. So remember longer is not better. Keep your work outs short.

3. Rest. Rest. Rest. Most people believe they grow in the gym. WRONG. DEAD WRONG. The work out is suppose to stimulate your body into building muscle. So, if the work out is suppose to STIMULATE building muscle, then where do you actually grow?? WHEN YOU REST. Try to rest at least 1 day in between work outs.

Tricks:

1. If you find yourself not building muscle, that means there are only three things which may need to be changed. Either you are not resting enough, yours spending to much time in the gym, or the way you are working out is wrong. Review the tips I have stated. If you are doing two right, then it is the third that is wrong. Normally, people do not rest enough, but building muscle is an equivalent of all three tips.

2. The most mass building exercises are Squats and Deadlifts. PERIOD. Don't neglect to do them.

3. On your last rep, what ever you don't do not neglect that last negative rep. The slower and harder it is, the more your body will be stimulated to build muscle.


If you follow these tips and tricks you will immediately go from aimlessly moving weights in a gym for hours on end, to coming in with a definite purpose of building muscle. You will see results.
