When I started with my attempts to gain muscle I made
all the beginner mistakes you can imagine. I trained too
often, over trained each body part doing way too many reps
and sets all because I was convinced that "more must be
more effective". I spend time doing useless exercises like
different machines and cables because I thought isolating
each muscle is only proper way to really work it to
maximum. I did everything to "feel the burn" in order to
"make it grow.
Looking back all the mistakes I made it is surprising I
did not give up on my efforts. Actually I almost did! I
really wanted to go back to old crew, drinking and other
self destructing habits I use to indulge inn before. My
struggle has ended when I finally found the system that
works and my muscle gains simply skyrocketed so much that I
ended with 45lbs of new lean muscle after about 8 months.
But my biggest mistake was having no idea about the actual
importance of nutrition. Initially, I never even considered
the role of nutrition but the longer I train the more I
realize how absolutely crucial it is for maximizing
results. I also realize how many people fail to place
enough emphasis on this critical factor.
Let me make this very simple for you. There are two
basic principles: stimulus and response. Your workout is
the stimulus for muscles to grow. How effective stimulus
will be depends upon the way you approach your training
sessions. Building muscle mass is dependent on exercise
selection and repetitions because this is dictating how
efficiently you are signaling your muscles to grow. But
after you done that, it's all about response.
Response entirely depends on proper nutrition. Your
nutrition directly hits your results. You can b sure that
your training routines and nutrition are so interdependent
that they cannot be separated.
Best training approach in the world will give you only
small degree of the results if you are not supplying
yourself with the fuels your body needs in order to build
muscle mass.
If you want to maximize your muscle growth you need to be
as committed outside the gym as you are inside. Muscle
growth begins when you end your workout. What you do after
you leave the gym will directly impact your results either
positively or negatively. This is why people usually fail
getting rapid muscle gains. With all that massive media
attacks propagating the "ultimate supplement" and "best
training program" all around us it is easy to take to wrong
approach.
Don't be confused and don't believe anybody who ignores
these unavoidable principals crucial for quality of your
results. Just think about this: Your weight training
sessions last up to one hour. There is another 23 hours of
time outside the gym affecting the success of your
workouts. So it is 23:1score. 23 times more time your body
has for responding on muscle growth stimulus.
Surely you already know that key factor responsible to
the stimulus on intense training is protein. Proper supply
with this "building material" for your muscles is to intake
it every 2 to 3 hours. No, it is not difficult but it is
essential to keep a steady stream of fresh "building
material" available for your body to use all day long. I
can imagine you freak out now; I did the same not so long
time ago. You may think I'm crazy but I steel claim this is
not difficult if you allow yourself getting little help. I
told you about my total muscle mass "score" I had in my
first 8 months but without the complete nutrition guide it will
be difficult and very complicated to accomplish
this.
Just to make sure you got my right. Nothing will happen
without your endeavor, you must adjust your eating habits -
sure. But it is not rocket science and if you take my
advice seriously and take action. I can imagine you more
than happy with this 84 day meal plans filled with a
variety of food. That's 12 full weeks of no-guesswork, just
healthy eating for fast muscle growth lifestyle.
Building muscle is not as complicated as most people
make it. Just keep in mind that you are responding to the
stimulus of training around the clock, seven days a week.
That means each day is filled with numerous opportunities
to enhance your recovery process. You can either take
advantage of your time or waste it. The choice is
yours.
