Muscle Building Tips For Hard Gainers

By Jennifer King

If you're unlucky enough to be a hard gainer, and you have trouble packing on quality muscle mass then you already know that it isn't an overnight thing. Fundamentally, gaining more muscle is to do everything you're doing now, but do it bigger.

This means you have to eat bigger, and you have to start looking at how you're training, and train harder. If you don't do these two things you'll stay at the same weight and strength as you are now. You won't grow if you don't consume more food, and you won't get bigger muscles if you don't lift more in the gym.

When it comes to packing on muscle lifting weights should be at the top of your list. The next most important thing is your diet. Without a proper diet all your weight training efforts will be a waste of time. Giving your body enough rest between workouts is also important. If you don't give your muscles enough time to repair themselves then your progress will go backwards.

The first thing to do that you will benefit from massively is work out how many calories you're eating every day. Once you have worked this out you'll know how much more you have to eat to add a substantial amount that is going to allow you to grow. You could start at adding 500 a day.

Although this may sound like a lot of extra food it could be a meal that consists of 30 grams of protein, 40 grams of carbs and 25 grams of healthy fat. A meal containing this many calories isn't hard to add to your daily meals. When you start training more effectively your body will need this extra consumption for the extra calories your muscles will be burning.

Once you've got your diet sorted out you need to start setting goals with your weight training. This means that going to the gym is for lifting weights and not socializing. A lot of gym users go into he gym with the wrong mind set. They lift the same weight every session for the same amount of reps, talk to their friends, then they go home and try to work out why they're not getting any bigger.

The first thing you need to do is start writing down how much you're lifting and for how many sets and reps. You need to progresses with your training , and you can only do this if you know what you did last time your trained. Your muscles won't grow if you don't do more than you did last time you were training. If you don't get stronger then your muscles have no reason to grow, and if you don't lift more than you did the week before you won't get stronger.

Writing everything down allows you to experiment more so you can see what is giving you the best gains. You can also find out if you're over training, and not making any gains.

If you truly want to dramatically change your body, to learn how to build muscle mass fast, then understand that your goals need the power of all of the above working together so you can achieve them. - 17274
