Tips On How To Gain Muscle Mass
Here are some tips that will help you gain more muscle mass:
Change Up Your Workouts
Be sure to change the exercises you do and the techniques you use so that your body never gets used to your workouts.
Switch up the rep ranges you use, sometimes use very heavy weights for 3 to 5 reps, sometimes do 6 to 8 reps, other times use 10 to 15 reps and occasionally use very light weights for 20 to 30 or more reps.
You can also vary your rest times by sometimes taking approximately 2 to 3 minutes between sets and other times taking as little as 15 to 30 seconds between sets.
Eat More Protein And Calories
Protein gives you the amino acids your body needs to repair and build new muscle, you should be taking in at least 1 gram of protein per pound of your body weight if you want to gain muscle mass fast.
To gain body weight and muscle mass, you should be eating approximately 20 times your body weight in calories. But, this should not be from junk it should be good healthy foods such as meats, eggs, fish, chicken along with fresh raw fruits and vegetables.
Don't neglect healthy fats because they will not only give you more calories but also help increase your testosterone levels.
Don't Do Aerobics
If you are trying to gain as muscle mass as a possible, then don't do any aerobics - cardio is what people do to lose weight not to gain it.
Get More Sleep
Most people are not getting enough sleep, some get only 5 or 6 hours a night. Since your body repairs and grows during sleep it only makes sense to make sure you get at the very least 8 hours a night - more if possible.
