I want muscle and I want it now!
Unless you are incredibly gifted with an amazing body to start with, you’ll have to put in lots of hours in the gym before you start seeing some real muscle. The more time you spend in the gym, provided you are doing your exercises properly, eating well and getting a decent 8 hours sleep a night, the more muscle you’ll develop.
Having read many articles about developing large muscles, one thing keeps coming back again and again from the bodybuilding gurus, stick with the basic. That is, no fancy exercises when you want to grow. Do the basic, squat, deadlift, bench press, shoulder press, rowing and some curls to grow your biceps.
Nowadays, it is pretty easy to go online and look for instructions on how to perform all these exercises properly. Two to three sets of every exercises should suffice at first and between 6 and 9 reps (repetitions) should be ok. Get a minute or two of rest in between sets. If you take two long a rest, your body will start to cool off. Not a good thing, since that will put you at risk for injuries.
First of all, you’ll have to tailor an exercise program for your body type. Look for a gym around your area that is offering free membership and enroll for a week or so and get the personal trainer to tailor a program for you. Once you have a program, you are good to go.
After your workout, a good breakfast is in order. Whole wheat bread with 3 to 4 eggs, a banana and some orange juice should boost your body with some well needed fuel. Finish your breadfast with a glass of milk. Milk does the body good…remember the ad ![]()
