Is It Hard To Lower Fat Gain While Building Muscle?
Many who are into bodybuilding will try to bulk up and get as big as they can but what happens much of the time is that they also add on extra padding with their muscle. Especially for those who want those cuts for a special event or competition. They will try to work frantically prior to the event to get rid of the fat. The key is to not gain that fat in the first place because what happens is that while fat is being lost, muscle is also being lost. Here is a simple strategy to gain muscle without adding that extra weight you don't want.
Learn that you should only gain muscle at the speed of a pound once every 2 weeks. If you are gaining faster than that then you can suspect that some of the gain is fat instead of muscle. Take a good long look at your diet when you are gaining faster than you should. Make certain that you consume the right portions of the correct foods to correspond with your workout regimen. You need to examine everything very thoroughly to make sure you are not gaining too fast or whether you are the exception to the rule.
One thing that will help you achieve your body building goals is to have the right diet. It is easy for a routine to turn into a rut. You alternate your weightlifting program, why shouldn't you alternate your diet program. A good muscle building program will include days that you take off because your body needs a chance to recuperate and to repair the muscles that you have torn apart in your workouts. You should also give your body a chance to recover from the rigid diet that you have been putting it through for the week. Rest is good for the mind and so is allowing a couple days of freedom from your strict diet. If you take a 5 day on - 2 day off approach to your diet, not only will your weekends be more fun (if you schedule the 2 days off correctly) but you will also be doing something good for your body.
The 5 meals a day plan is what you should be doing. You will be constantly fueling your body and it will not store up like it does when you are not eating enough. Your diet needs to be made up of 1 part monounsaturated fat to 2 parts of protein, which you can't have muscle without, and have 3 parts of carbohydrates for energy.
The other thing you need to build your muscle without packing on fat as well, is developing the correct workout program. Start by performing 10 to 15 minutes of some activity that is aerobic before you do your actual workout. It is good for warming you up for your workout, for burning fat and it will make your heart healthier. It can backfire on you to do too much aerobic activity though as far as you trying to gain muscle mass.
Long periods of aerobic activity may make you a marathon runner but it won't put muscle on you. More muscle means more calories are being burned. Make sure you stretch for a bit after your aerobic activity and before you get into the main part of your muscle building workout.
Get a journal to log your workouts each day and you need to do repeats of muscles group daily too. You need to keep upping your game a notch every workout. By keeping this journal you know how much to up it each day. Monday - Thursday concentrate on a different muscle group each day then on Fridays you mix it all together and work all the muscle groups.
With your workout, pyramid the sets and make the one in the middle have more weight than the first and last ones. You need push your body. With the first set you prepare the body for the heavier set of #2 and then with the third set you cool your body down. You can also pyramid your reps within the sets too. The first rep do the most, the middle you make them harder but fewer, and then the third one is the cool down where you do the same reps as the first.
Take these tips and plan your workout according to them, adjusting it to your particular body. You will see how good this works for not gaining fat and only building muscle. - 17274
