The Ideal Way To Gain Muscle Mass

What is the best way to gain muscle mass? It really depends on what kind of muscle you want to gain, if you don’t mind gaining muscle as well as stout or if you want to purely tone up. To be honest, there really isn’t a “best way”, but some approaches are better than others. The best way in my opinion is by adding muscle while staying somewhat lean. We will discuss the best strategy to accomplish that in this article.

So No Magic Way?

We can discus how a better appearance can be achieved through developing muscle. To stay looking excellent while putting on muscle you need to do it while avoiding putting on stout. The best way to do this is to lift with a high volume of sets and reps, while eating a modest amount of calories.

Low Calories?

Yes, the most effective approach to building muscle is from training and not from eating. I realize that the health and fitness magazines would have you believe differently, but remember their income comes from selling supplements. If they were really trying to help people their message would be to train more.

Eat Less and Train More!

You do not get muscular by eating a lot. Sure you will get larger when you eat more, but this will largely comprise of body stout. The stout that is gained will need to be lost, and the weight loss process is hard. What you should really do is avoid gaining the weight in the first place. Eating a lot during the day, should not be allowed to stress you out. The muscle is added by your body to compensate for the effort you are putting them through, not because of all the calories you are eating.

How To Lose Body Stout

If you want to gain muscle and are already a bit chubby, then it makes sense to lose a lot of that body stout while maintaining muscle mass. You should look more to strength training, which is high weight and less reps, while losing your body stout with a lot of interval training. When you are down to the weight you are pleased with you can start to tone up some more.

The following is a excellent way to develop muscle.

Spend a few months lifting in the 6-15 rep range to increase the volume within the muscle cells (sarcoplasmic hypertrophy). Once you have done this change your regime to lower weights and higher reps, this will increase your muscle endurance, density and strength. This is the best way to add muscle mass if you want that muscle to look fantastic on your physique.
