In this article, we will look at seven simple rules you need to follow if you want to achieve your goal faster.
Muscle mass is what every bodybuilder wants. But building muscle is not an easy task, especially when you do not take supplements, medications and do not have good genetics. To build muscle mass quickly you will need discipline and dedication.
1. Eat or drink fast carbs and protein after a workout. Increased insulin levels immediately after intense exercise stimulate protein synthesis. A good source of fast carbs is vitargo.
2. Eat. If you do not eat much and can not cope with large amounts of food in one meal, you can consider eating more than three times a day to consume enough protein, carbohydrates and fats. Maintaining your system saturated with amino acids and glycogen is crucial if you want to build muscle. If you do not eat enough protein and calories can lead to muscle tissue damage.
3. You need to be concentrated in your training program, especially when doing deadlifts, squats and presses (leg presses, shoulder presses). This means that you have to lift heavy weights and work on many muscle groups. Exercising hard to perform basic exercises is probably the fastest way to build muscle mass.
4. Overtraining is the number one factor that affects your muscle building. As I said before, do a short workout, but do mainly the basic exercises. Do not train for more than three consecutive days without a break. Your muscles, your central nervous system need to recover. Rest more! What people said “Holiday makes a champion”.
In sports physiology, the term “overcompensation” means a process of recovery. When you exercise, you damage muscle fibers. After training, the body synthesizes new ones to erase the damage. But muscles are not only “repaired” but also strengthened with additional muscle tissue – a phenomenon known as super – or overcompensation – and this is exactly what causes new muscle growth. However, this reinforcement is only during the recovery period. So there will be progress if you rest as efficiently as you train.
5. Reduce weights by up to 50% every five to six weeks. This will give your body and central nervous system time to recover.
When you constantly violate the principles of recovery, creating an imbalance between training and rest, overtraining occurs. The most common sign is fatigue, but also mood swings and depression, depression, etc.

6. You’ve probably heard this a thousand times, but sleep is the second most important thing. This is the period in which your body recovers and releases growth hormone and testosterone. You can eat all the protein in the world, but without at least 7-8 hours of sleep, you will not be able to reach your full potential.
7. Finally, don’t worry too much about things and situations around you. Your body produces cortisol when exposed to stress. Cortisol is known as the “stress hormone” and is the number one cause of muscle breakdown as well as other harmful processes in your body.
