The average person can find it rather difficult to gain muscle mass as seen on body builders and fitness experts.
The average person needs to be sure not to do too much too fast because over-training can actually hinder your chances of gaining muscle mass.
Listed below is how an average person like you and me can successfully and safely obtain the muscles we all long for.
Eat Whole Foods...
and a lot of it! by eating whole foods, your body will begin to lose extra body fat that hides toned muscles.
If you eat poorly, your muscles will never appear to be toned no matter what type of weights you lift.
Additionally, you must eat more of everything!! The more small meals you eat the more your metabolism works.
Eat breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack, dinner, a snack...
you get the idea.
Compound Your Exercises To obtain base strength and muscle mass quickly, it is best to compound your exercises to work out more than one muscle at a time.
For example, do not isolate a muscle by doing endless bicep curls.
Instead, try to include chin-ups and pull-ups to your routine to break up the monotony and give your muscles a chance to breathe.
Take Time for R & R Over-training will only hurt your muscles and cause your body to need more downtime to recover.
Instead of over doing it, be sure to rest certain muscle groups by working on a different group each time you exercise.
Be good to your self too...
don't forget to drink lots of water and get plenty of rest.
