Muscle Building Isn’t Like Dropping Pounds

3 Tips to Succeed

.
Many people try to build muscle and are disappointed when nothing changes.
.
Usually, this is because they are trying to build muscle in the same way that they would try and lose weight.  Unfortunately, the two goals could not be more different.
.

.
In fact, for many people gaining muscle will actually mean putting on weight rather than just turning fat into muscle.
.
So, let’s look at the ways you can gain muscle and compare it to a weight loss plan.
.

1. Muscle Building Isn’t Like Dropping Pounds Tip #1
Be Careful With Exercise
.

.
If you’re exercising to add muscle or to build existing muscle, you need to be careful with how much you exercise.
.
You shouldn’t be exercising every day. If you do this, you will start to burn any muscle you’ve already built up. You might be vaguely aware that people like action movie stars and wrestlers workout every day.
.
We can explain how this works, but for now, it’s important to have days off. This will give you time for your muscles to rest and build without any fitness activity at all.
.
You also want to watch out how many hours you spend pumping iron. Again, eventually, you’ll just starting burning fat.
.
A warning sign is feeling weaker after a workout. You should always feel stronger if it’s been effective.

Eat More

.
As mentioned, people like Dwayne Johnson and Dave Bautista often mention working out daily in interviews. The reason they can do this is because they eat a high-calorie diet.
.
The average man in the USA eats around 2700 calories. Johnson eats around 1000 calories a day from Cod alone and eats as much as 5000 calories in total.
.
You might think then that the best way to gain muscle is to match this type of diet, but it’s not that easy. Most people would throw up trying to eat even close to that amount.
.
You’ll have to start gradually if you want to build up your calorie intake. It’s easier if you eat six meals a day rather than trying to add the calories to breakfast, lunch and dinner.
.

.
You need to be careful about the type of foods you eat as well. Ideally, you want to eat foods packed with proteins, which is why Johnson devours fish.
.
However, you can also get hemp or whey protein. Consume them in shakes or supplements added to your meals.

3. Muscle Building Isn’t Like Dropping Pounds Tip #3
Push Yourself
.

.
Finally, if you are serious about gaining muscle, you can’t just settle for lifting weights. Nor can you just complete exercises that you find easy.
.
Instead, you need to take things to the next level, pushing your workout farther than before. So, rather than completing fifteen weightlifting sets that you find easy, aim for ten that you find difficult.
.
.
You’ll see greater rewards if you aim for that type of heavy endurance routine. By lowering the number of sets and increasing the weights, you can actually gain more muscle over a shorter period. However, you will need to make sure you have a spotter to keep things safe.
.
Take this advice, and you’ll be lean and mean in no time!
