Everyone wants more muscle and most people want it sooner rather than later. Many people despite putting in a great deal of effort are not seeing much progress. If that rings a bell then have a read of these tips, apply them and I can almost guarantee if you weren’t doing these things before then you will undoubtedly start getting more muscle mass! Here are great fast ways to gain weight:
Tip 1: Regulate your cortisol levels. Cortisol can almost be considered as an opposite to testosterone. This means that in order to build muscle we need to produce as little amount of this hormone as possible. To achieve there are two things you are required to do
a) Keep your workout to less than 1 hour. Cortisol is produced as a result of stress being placed on the muscle. Weight training clearly is a stress for the muscle and therefore it is produced. After the 45 minute mark cortisol levels rise a great deal and begin to start sabotaging your muscle building attempts due to the fact that it will enable the body to start using the bodies muscles as energy.
b) Limit your cardio workouts. Again aerobic training places lots of stress on the body therefore they ought to be kept to a sensible frequency, 2 or 3 twenty minutes workouts per week would be ok if you are trying to put on muscle mass.
Tip 2: Utilise the GOMAD approach. Of course not actually going mad but have a shot at the GOMAD lifestyle. This means a Gallon Of Milk A Day. Not consuming enough calories is one of the main reasons people do not grow, you need extra calories to build muscle from. Simply put if you fail to take on board a net surplus amount of calories then you will never have any spare calories to support muscle growth and thus never gain any muscle mass regardless of how hard you train.
Milk is a great source of protein rammed full of useful calories ensuring you will never go short.
Tip 3: Squat! Do squats as a minimum of once per week. As the bodies core needs to be kept stable to perform this exercise well all the bodies major muscle groups are used. As it is such a powerful demanding exercise it gives you a good CV workout and also floods your body with a lot of powerful muscle growth hormones. Utilising this exercise in your bodybuilding routine will provide you with a head start in piling on muscle mass.
I hope you enjoyed the tips, if you would like more information I highly recommend the no nonsense muscle building program, it’s a step by step plan to pile on heaps of muscle mass fast.
