Teens are the ones who are affected the most by the load of misinformation that is out there about weight loss. I remember being on this boat back when I was a teen. I was overweight and I was willing to do anything in order to lose the weight. As a result, I made many mistakes and fell victim to all of the misinformation.
I don’t know if you’re like me, but when I train at the gym I have one intention. It’s to build more muscles. I’m sure this is the same for you.
As a fitness coach and personal trainer I need to answer this question all the time:
How can I get bigger?
It’s easy if you follow some simple rules. You will be able to increase your muscles mass without increasing your body fat!
Heavy Lift
First rule on the list is you need to lift heavy weights to increase your muscle mass. When you challenge your muscles enough, you damage the tiny micro-fibers of the muscle. With the right nutrition and enough rest you repair the damage, and with this repair your muscles slowly grow. To get good results, make sure you challenge your muscles with intensity in your workout. If you take too long of a rest in between sets, your muscles will not get the intensity they need to be really challenged. I suggest taking only just enough time to catch your breath (around 30 to 45 sec.) and then start another set right away.
By the way if you have never tried Super Charge before a workout…go for it! You will see a whole different you at the gym! (more…)
You try to gain mass and build lean muscle. You train for few months - or even worse - for years without seeing any significant change in your physique. What do you think is going wrong? Which essential key are you missing for muscle growth? Read on and find out.
Which key is most essential for muscle growth? Do you think it’s your training? Or is it your nutrition? Or what about supplements? Which of these keys will get you closer to your goals and to the physique you deserve?
Since you started lifting weight are you stronger? I’m sure you are if you have a good training program. But the big question is; are you bigger? Did you increase the size of your chest, back, or legs? (more…)
When you read this title, you’re probably asking yourself what this guy is talking about. If you are, then this article is for you for sure.
You probably take your workout routine very seriously and do everything it takes to grow your muscle mass. You train hard, eat right, and sleep well to make sure you recover for the next training session.
But you probably don’t think to stretch, right? Stretching is for the ‘yoga freak’ you think. Not at all, my friend！ If you want your muscles to grow as big as you want, you need to incorporate some stretching in your training session. Stretching is essential for building muscles. (more…)
Bodybuilding supplements are actually a subcomponent of the nutrition component on the formula described above. That is the reason you do not see them as part of the formula. However, because I remember how curious and easily convinced (and misled) I was on this subject back when I was 14 years old, I decided to cover this topic first.
