This muscle building guide will show you
the fundamentals to building muscle. One of the biggest
things that people overlook when they are looking to build
muscle is the fact that what you eat contributes to about
90% to the muscle you build, rather than just
working out by itself.
Of course we need to work out to build a muscle, but if we
don't eat the right foods that enhance muscle growth then we
are going to be very disappointed in our results.
It is important to have a diet that is high in protein and
carbohydrates to stimulate muscle growth. Also contrary to what
some people believe, you do need to consume carbohydrates in
order to keep your energy levels up and replenish
glycogen(energy). Mind you carbohydrates should be restricted
when possible to the earlier parts of the day.
Apart from breakfast, the most important meal of all is the
post workout meal. The post workout meal is the most effective
meal when it comes to building muscle as its aids in the repair
of your muscles after each of your workouts.
Skipping a post workout meal is probably the worst
thing you can do when trying to build muscle. This meal can be
something as simple as a protein shake if you don’t have the
time or the energy to make something.
- Frozen or fresh fruit (bananas, pineapples or raisins)
- Quickly digestible protein - the best source of this is a
quality whey protein isolate (this is important)
- Fat free/low fat yogurt
- Natural maple syrup
- Waxie Maize Starch (The most effective way to replenish the
body’s glycogen)
By including natural sugars in your post workout meal you
are triggering an insulin spike which speeds up muscle repair
and growth.
You may also wish to include supplements such as creatine,
arginine, or glutamine, which again assist your body by
repairing muscle and of course building muscle.
Of course you will need to work your muscles as well in
order to help them grow. The following guidelines will give you
some idea of what you may want to do in order to achieve muscle
growth:
• First each muscle must be worked out at least once a week
and also given at least one day to one week to rest. It is this
rest period in which the muscle grows the most -- it is not
during the work out that your muscle grows, but after, which is
surprising to some.
• When working out, it is important to put in 100% effort at
all times. This works the muscle to exhaustion, which allows
for better muscle building during the time of rest.
• Never overtrain. Going to the gym every single day is not
going to help you build muscle faster. Any muscle building
guide will tell you that overtraining your muscles actually
sets you backwards. Your muscles need time to rest, in order to
grow. If you don’t give them this rest, then you will be sadly
disappointed.
Any good muscle building guide will also tell you that your
nutrition forms the most important part of your routine. If you
want to build muscle, combining good nutrition with a sensible
workout schedule will guarantee you see excellent results
within only a few short weeks.
