Is It Hard To Lower Fat Growth While Building Muscle?
People who do bodybuilding often attempt to bulk up to get larger, but sometimes they also gain more than just muscle, they gain a bit of cushioning too. This happens many times to those who are involved in competing. These competitors work like mad before an event to lose their fat. The secret is though not to put the fat on to start with because you risk losing muscle while you are trying to get rid of just the fat. Here is an easy plan to add muscle without gaining unwanted pounds.
You need to realize that you should only put on about one pound of muscle every 2 weeks. If you are gaining more than that you may be putting on fat instead. If you notice you are rapidly putting on weight, then examine the quantity of food you are consuming. Be sure that you are eating the recommended amount of the foods that are appropriate for your workout regimen. This does not hold true for everyone, but make sure you check everything out, in the event you are rapidly gaining weight.
One thing that will help you achieve your body building goals is to have the right diet. It is easy for a routine to turn into a rut. You alternate your weightlifting program, why shouldn't you alternate your diet program. A good muscle building program will include days that you take off because your body needs a chance to recuperate and to repair the muscles that you have torn apart in your workouts. You should also give your body a chance to recover from the rigid diet that you have been putting it through for the week. Rest is good for the mind and so is allowing a couple days of freedom from your strict diet. If you take a 5 day on - 2 day off approach to your diet, not only will your weekends be more fun (if you schedule the 2 days off correctly) but you will also be doing something good for your body.
You should be eating several times a day instead of 3, actually about 5 meals a day is good. This way your body does not go into save mode like when you are trying not to eat. You also need to follow the formula of 1 part good fat, 2 parts of protein (essential for building muscle), and 3 parts of the energy giving carbohydrates.
Having the correct work out regimen will also assist you in adding muscle without gaining fat. You need to be doing 10 to 15 minutes of aerobics prior to you working out. This will get your body loosened up for the workout ahead along with burning off some fat, and as a bonus it is great for your heart. But do not go longer than this or it will not help you build muscle.
Long periods of aerobic activity may make you a marathon runner but it won't put muscle on you. More muscle means more calories are being burned. Make sure you stretch for a bit after your aerobic activity and before you get into the main part of your muscle building workout.
You should keep a record of your workouts and everyday you need to gear your workout to a specific group of muscles. You need to step it up a notch each time you workout. When you keep a record of your workouts it makes it easy to do this. Each day Monday - Thursday work on a different muscle group then on Friday workout all body parts.
With your workout, pyramid the sets and make the one in the middle have more weight than the first and last ones. You need push your body. With the first set you prepare the body for the heavier set of #2 and then with the third set you cool your body down. You can also pyramid your reps within the sets too. The first rep do the most, the middle you make them harder but fewer, and then the third one is the cool down where you do the same reps as the first.
If you use these tips to come up with your workout regimen by honing it to your particular body needs, you will soon see that this is the best method for adding muscle minus gaining the fat. - 17268
