5 Simple Steps for Choosing Muscle Building Programs

By Mark Dale

Most people who've been on a muscle building program for any length of time will realise how important it is to make good progress with muscle gains in order to keep motivated and of course, to look and feel great.

However, many muscle building programs can be completely inappropriate to an individual's needs. The result of this can be anything from little or no muscle gains or even injury through over training.

Having studied and reviewed many muscle programs over the years, here are my top 5 tips to finding a muscle building program that will suit your needs:

Workout Time

Muscle building programs aimed at gaining lean muscle mass will not have you training for hours in the gym. Your workout routines should last no more than 45 mins, but should be intense and push your strength to the limit.

Varying Your Workout Program

Workout routines must be changed every 8 to 12 weeks. You body is very clever and remembers the exercises you did last week, which is why they get easier over time. By changing your routine you are literally shocking your muscles into further growth.

Take Rest Days

You need plenty of rest for your body to recover from your workouts and for your muscle growth. Muscles grow when you sleep, eat and rest and NOT when you train. The best muscle building programs will include rest days and will have you training the same muscle groups more than twice a week.

Perform Exercise with Correct Form

Exercise with strict form. It is very important that you don't just pile on the plates and then swing the barbell around! Strict exercise form is essential to build muscle and to prevent injury. Yes, you may be able to lift more if you cheat, but it won't do you any good. Look out for a muscle program that shows you how to perform exercises with correct form.

Diet - The Most Essential Part!

Diet is the key to every bodybuilder's success. However any muscle building diet must be personalized to your body type and goals. The best muscle building programs will provide diet plans for every individual. This means diet plans will cover all calorie levels and include meals from 2000 - 6000 calories a day. The best meal plans I've come across even cater for vegetarians or those who need to avoid specific foods.

So there you have it, 5 simple but very important tips to stimulating fast muscle growth. Make sure you bear these points in mind when looking for a suitable muscle building program. - 17268
